Indices and Surds: Reference: Sancheti & Kapoor (S&K)

The document discusses indices and surds. It defines index, exponent, and base. Laws of indices are presented, such as am × an = am+n. Fractional indices and operations with power functions like multiplication and division are covered. Examples of simplifying expressions with indices are shown. Surds are introduced and operations on them like addition and multiplication are explained. Exercises involving simplifying expressions with indices and solving equations with indices are included to demonstrate working with indices and surds.
