* The Prime Theorem of Calculus:

(Leibniz notation: "d/dx")

* The derivative of a constant is zero.

* The derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives:

- If the function "F" is defined by "F(x) = f(x) + g(x)" then;
F'(x) = f'(x) + g'(x). Or: (f + g)' = f' + g'

* The derivative of a difference is the difference of the derivatives.

- If the function "F" is defined by "F(x) = f(x) - g(x)", then;
F'(x) = f'(x) - g'(x). Or: (f - g)' = f' - g'

* For the derivative of X raised to a power N; multiply X by the

exponent, and subtract one from the exponent.
f'(xn) = nx(n-1) (I've found this one to be particularly useful...maybe because it's easy to
remember)

* The derivative of a constant times a function is equal to the

constant times the derivative of the function. In other words, when
computing derivatives, multiplicative constants can be pulled out of
the expression.

- If "u = f(x)", then:

- If f(x) is defined by f(x)* c, then f'(x) = cf'(x)

* The derivative of a product is equal to the first factor times the

derivative of the second, plus the derivative of the first factor times
the second.
- If the function "F" is defined by "F(x) = f(x)g(x)", then;
F'(x) = f(x)g'(x) + f'(x)g(x). Or: (fg)' = fg' +f'g

* The derivative of a quotient is equal to the denominator (bottom)

times the derivative of the numerator (top), minus the numerator
times the derivative of the denominator, all over the denominator
squared.

- If the function "F" is defined by: , then;
