Logarithmic Differentiation
Logarithmic Differentiation helps to find the derivatives of complicated functions, using the concept of logarithms. Sometimes finding the differentiation of the function is very tough but differentiating the logarithm of the same function is very easy, then in such cases, the logarithmic differentiation formula is used.
In calculus, the differentiation of some complex functions is found first by taking a log and then finding the logarithmic derivative of that function.
In this article, we will learn about Logarithmic Differentiation in detail.
