Essential Formula Sheet for Engineering Mathematics
Unit I: Integral Calculus
- Integral of x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C (n -1)
- Integral of 1/x dx = ln|x| + C

- Volume of Solid (Revolution about x-axis): V = pi * integral from a to b of [f(x)]^2 dx
- Arc Length: L = integral from a to b of sqrt(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx
- Surface Area: S = 2pi * integral from a to b of y * sqrt(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx
- Differentiation under integral sign: d/dx of integral from a(x) to b(x) of f(t,x) dt
Unit II: Multiple Integrals
- Double Integral: integral over region R of f(x, y) dx dy
- Triple Integral: integral over volume V of f(x, y, z) dx dy dz
- Change of Order: Rewrite limits to simplify integration
- Change of Variables: Use Jacobian determinant
- Applications: Area = double integral over R of 1 dA, Volume = double integral over R of f(x, y) dA

Unit IV: Differential Equations
- Linear 1st Order: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x); Solution: y * IF = integral(Q * IF dx)
- Exact Equation: Mdx + Ndy = 0, if dM/dy = dN/dx
- Reducible to linear using substitutions
- Second Order Linear: a y'' + b y' + c y = 0
- CF (Complementary Function): from auxiliary equation
