Mathematics — Stream SX/SB

Calculus, probability, vectors, matrices, and combinatorics for Class 12 / college

Key Concepts
  • Differential and integral calculus
  • Coordinate geometry and conic sections
  • Vectors and three-dimensional geometry
  • Probability and statistics
Important Formulae
Power rule (integration) ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C, n ≠ −1
Dot product a·b = |a||b| cosθ
Conditional probability P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)
Quick Tips
  • Always add the constant of integration to indefinite integrals.
  • For probability, define the sample space clearly before counting.
