LOGARITHMS
Definition of Logarithm
The logarithm of any number to a given base is the power to which base must be raised to
obtain that number.
For example, 81 = 34, we can say that the logarithm of 81 to the base 3 is equal to 4.
Symbolically, log381 = 4
In general, if N = ax, then loga N = x.
The common logarithm of a number is the power to which 10 must be raised to obtain that
4
number.
As 1000 = 103 ∴ log101000 = 3
As a° = 1 ∴ loga 1 = 0
As a1 = a ∴ log, a = 1
Logarithmic Formulae
Product formula :
loga mn = loga m + loga n
Quotient formula :
m
loga n
= loga m - logan
Power formula :
loga mn = n logam
Base change formula :
loga m = logb m × loga b
DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS
Differentia, Coefficient
Let y be a function of x i.e., y = f (x)
Suppose the value of x increases by a small amount ∆x. Then the value of y also increases
by a small amount, say ∆y.
∆y
The ratio ∆x is called the average rate of change of y with respect to x.
∆y
When ∆x approaches zero, the limiting value of ∆x
is called differential coefficient or derivative
dy
of y w.r.t. x and is denoted by dx.
dy ∆y
Hence dx = lim
Δx→0Δx ∆x
dy
Physically, the derivative dx gives the instantaneous rate of change of function y with respect
to variable x.

Integration
Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. It is the process of finding a function whose
derivative is given. If derivative of function f (x) w.r.t. x is /'(x), then integration of f'(x) w.r.t. x is
f (x). Symbolically, we can say

if dx[f(x)] = f'(x), then ∫ f'(x)dx = f(x).
