d/dx c = 0, c constant
d/dx cf(x) = cf'(x), c constant
d/dx [f(x) ± g(x)] = f'(x) ± g'(x)
d/dx [f(x) * g(x)] = f(x) * g'(x) + g(x) * f'(x) (product rule)
d/dx [f(x) / g(x)] = (g(x)f'(x) - f(x)g'(x))/([g(x)]^2) (quotient rule)
d/dx f[g(x)] = f'[g(x)] * g'(x)
OR
for u = g(x), d/dx f(u) = f'(u) * u' = f'(u) * g'(x)
OR
dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx (these are all chain rule)

Integration

Remember that u'dx = du and may be replaced by du.

(On this page, a capital S will be used as an integration symbol because text only browsers do not display the integration symbol.)

Sdx = x + c
Sk f(x) dx = k Sf(x) dx
S[f(x) ± g(x)]dx = Sf(x)dx ± Sg(x)dx
