So I've derived the equation for the amplitude of a driven oscillator as:
[itex]\huge A=\frac{F}{m\sqrt{(\omega_{0}^{2}-\omega_{d}^{2})^{2}+4\gamma^{2}\omega_{d}^{2}}}[/itex]
Which is what my lecturer has written. Then taking the derivative and setting it to 0 to get the turning point. He makes this leap:

How does he do that? I can't do it.
Also an auxiliary question. I was watching Walter Lewin on this here .
And he uses
[itex]\huge
{\gamma}=\frac{b}{m}[/itex]
Whereas I've been taught:
[itex]\huge
{\gamma}=\frac{b}{2m}[/itex]
Where ϒ is the damping coefficient. Which is correct?
