0.1 Introduction.
Mathematics is the language of physics. It becomes very easier to describe, understand and apply the physical
principles, if we have a good knowledge of mathematics.
For example : Newton’s law of gravitation states that every body in this universe attracts every other body with a
force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between them.
m 1m 2 Gm 1 m 2
This law can be expressed by a single mathematical relationship F  2
or F 
r r2
The techniques of mathematics such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, graph and logarithm can be used to make
predictions from the basic equation.
If we are poor at grammar and vocabulary, it would be difficult for us to communicate our feelings, similarly for
better understanding and expressing of physics the basic knowledge of mathematics is must.
In this introductory chapter we will learn some fundamental mathematics.
0.2 Algebra.
(1) Quadratic equation : An equation of second degree is called a quadratic equation. Standard quadratic equation
ax  bx  c  0
2

Here a is called the coefficient of x2, b is called the coefficient of x and c is a constant term, x is the variable whose
value (roots of the equation) are to be determined
 b  b 2  4 ac
Roots of the equation are : x 
2a
This formula can be written as

 Coefficien t of x  (Coefficien t of x ) 2  4(Coefficien t of x 2 )  (Constant term)


x
2(Coefficien t of x 2 )

Note :  If  and  be the roots of the quadratic equation then


b c
Sum of roots  +  = – and product of roots =
a a
Problem 1. Solve the equation 10 x 2  27 x  5  0
Solution : By comparing the given equation with standard equation a = 10, b = – 27, and c = 5

(2) Binomial theorem : If n is any number positive, negative or fraction and x is any real number, such that x < 1
i.e. x lies between – 1 and + 1 then according to binomial theorem
n(n  1) 2 n(n  1)(n  2) 3
(1  x )n  1  nx  x  x  .....
2! 3!
Here 2 ! (Factorial 2) = 2  1, 3 ! (Factorial 3) = 3  2  1 and 4 ! (Factorial 4) = 4  3  2  1

Note :  If |x| << 1 then only the first two terms are significant. It is so because the values of second and the
higher order terms being very very small, can be neglected. So the expression can be written as
(1 + x)n = 1 + nx
(1 + x)–n = 1 – nx
Survase Sir Physics
(1 – x)n = 1 – nx
(1 – x)–n = 1 + nx

(3) Arithmetic progression : It is a sequence of numbers which are arranged in increasing order and having a
constant difference between them.

(4) Geometric progression : It is a sequence of numbers in which every term is obtained by multiplying the
previous term by a constant quantity. This constant quantity is called the common ratio.
Example : 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 …… or 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, …….
In general geometric progression can be written as a, ar, ar , ar3, ar4, …. 2

0.4 Logarithm.
Logarithm of a number with respect to a given base is the power to which the base must be raised to represent that
number.
If a x  N then log a N  x
Here x is called the logarithm of N to the base a.
There are two system of logarithm : Logarithm to the base 10 are called common logarithms where as logarithms to
the base e are called natural logarithm. They are written as ln.
Conversion of natural log into common log : log e x  2.3026 log 10 x
Important formulae of logarithm :
(i) log a (mn )  log a m  log a n (Product formula)
m 
(ii) log a    log a m  log a n (Quotient formula)
n
(iii) log a m n  n log a m (Power formula)
(iv) log a m  log b m log a b (Base change formula)

Note :  Antilogarithm is the reverse process of logarithm i.e., the number whose logarithm is x is called
antilogarithm of x. If log n  x then n = antilog of x
0.5 Graphs.
A graph is a line, straight or curved which shows the variation of one quantity w.r.t. other, which are interrelated
with each other.
In a relation of two quantities, the quantity which is made to alter at will, is called the independent variable and the
other quantity which varies as a result of this change is called the dependent variable. Conventionally, in any graph, the
independent variable (i.e. cause) is represented along x-axis and dependent variable (i.e. effect) is represented along y-
axis.

For example, we want to depict V  IR graphically, in which R is a constant called resistance, V is the applied
voltage (cause) and I (effect) is the resulting current. We will represent voltage on x-axis and current on y-axis.

0.6 Differential Calculus.


The differential coefficient or derivative of variable y with respect to variable x is defined as the instantaneous rate of
dy
change of y w.r.t. x. It is denoted by
dx
Geometrically the differential coefficient of y  f (x ) with respect to x at any point is
equal to the slope of the tangent to the curve representing y  f (x ) at that point Y y = f (x)

(2) Maxima and minima : If a quantity y depends on another quantity x in a manner shown in figure. It becomes
maximum at x1 and minimum at x2.

0.7 Integral Calculus.
The process of integration is just the reverse of differentiation. The symbol ∫ is used to denote integration.
If f (x ) is the differential coefficient of function F(x ) with respect to x, then by integrating f (x ) we can get F(x ) again.

(2) Method of integration : Sometimes, we come across some functions which cannot be integrated directly by
using the standard integrals. In such cases, the integral of a function can be obtained by using one or more of the
following methods.
(i) Integration by substitution : Those functions which cannot be integrated directly can be reduced to standard
integrand by making a suitable substitution and then can be integrated by using the standard integrals. To understand the
method, we take the few examples.
(ii) Integration by parts : This method of integration is based on the following rule :
Integral of a product of two functions = first function  integral of second function – integral of (differential
coefficient of first function  integral of second function).

(3) Definite integrals : When a function is integrated between definite limits, the integral is called definite integral. For
example,
Survase Sir Physics
b b
 a
f ( x ) dx is definite integral of f (x ) between the limits a and b and is written as  a
f (x ) dx | F(x )| ba  F(b)  F(a)

Here a is called the lower limit and b is called the upper limit of integration.
b
Geometrically  a
f ( x ) dx equals to area of curve F(x ) between the limits a and b.
