Logarithms

If: x = 10y, then: log(x) = y

If: x = ey, then: ln(x) = y


Decibel (dB)

For power levels P1 and P2, dB = 10 log(P1/P2)

Exponentials (t is a constant)

y(x) = e-x/t


y(x) = (1 - e-x/t)


y(x) = (1 - 2e-x/t)


Trigonometric Functions and Identities

Sin(q) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cos(q) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tan(q) = Opposite / Adjacent

Csc(q) = 1 / Sin(q) = Hypotenuse / Opposite
Sec(q) = 1 / Cos(q) = Hypotenuse / Adjacent
Cot(q) = 1 / Tan(q) = Adjacent / Opposite

Cos(q1) Cos(q2) = 1/2 Cos(q1 - q2) + 1/2 Cos(q1 + q2)
Sin(q1) Cos(q2) = 1/2 Sin(q1 + q2) + 1/2 Sin(q1 - q2)
Sin(q1) Sin(q2) = 1/2 Cos(q1 - q2) - 1/2 Cos(q1 + q2)

sin(x) / x = sinc(x)
