Calculus


\begin{displaymath}\frac{d t^n}{ d t} = n t^{n-1}
\end{displaymath}


\begin{displaymath}\frac{d \ell n\, t}{dt} = \frac{1}{t}
\end{displaymath}

and

\begin{displaymath}\frac{d e^t}{dt} = e^t
\end{displaymath}

so

\begin{displaymath}\frac{d\, \ell n\, f(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{f(t)}\frac{df(t)}{dt}
\end{displaymath}


\begin{displaymath}\frac{d e^{f(t)}}{dt} = e^{f(t)}\frac{d f(t)}{d t}
\end{displaymath}
