Wall chart

Class 12 Maths

The integrals and derivatives you are expected to produce from memory. Calculus alone is nearly half the paper — this is the half worth having on a wall.

Set your printer to A3 if you have it, landscape, and it will fill a wall. A4 works too.

Class 12 Maths

Calculus is 35 of the 80 marks

Cross product
|a×b| = |a||b|sinθ
Projection of a on b
(a·b)/|b|
Line, vector form
r = a + λb
Shortest distance (skew)
|(a₂−a₁)·(b₁×b₂)| / |b₁×b₂|

Matrices & probability

Inverse
A⁻¹ = adj(A)/|A|, |A| ≠ 0

Conditional probability
P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)
Bayes' theorem
P(Eᵢ|A) = P(Eᵢ)P(A|Eᵢ) / Σ P(Eⱼ)P(A|Eⱼ)
