Volume 2: Differential & Integral Calculus

Analytical Overview

Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change, local linear approximation, and infinitesimal accumulation. In IIT-JEE Advanced and Olympiads, calculus forms approximately 35–40% of the entire examination. This volume provides deep theoretical rigor, $ϵ$-$\delta$ precision, Leibniz rule mechanics, and geometrical problem-solving techniques.

Functions & Functional Equations

🔗 The Pedagogical Bridge

Functions are the fundamental input of calculus. Before you can differentiate or integrate $f(x)$, its domain, continuity domain, and periodicity must be established.

⚠️ Fatal Pitfall to Avoid

Finding the range of composite functions $f(g(x))$ by substituting extreme values blindly without checking the domain of the inner function $g(x)$.

🎯 Mastery Benchmark

You can determine the domain, range, and injectivity/surjectivity of any rational or piecewise trigonometric function in 60 seconds.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC)

Let $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$ be continuous, and define $F(x)={\int }_a^{x}f(t)dt$. Then $F$ is uniformly differentiable on $(a,b)$ with:

$$F^{\prime }(x)=\frac{d}{dx}[{\int }_a^{x}f(t)dt]=f(x)$$

Furthermore, if $G$ is any antiderivative of $f$ ($G^{\prime }=f$), then ${\int }_a^{b}f(t)dt=G(b)-G(a)$.
