Logarithmic differentiation simplifies differentiation of products, quotients, or powers: take ln of both sides, apply log rules, then differentiate. For y=f(x), let ln(y)=ln(f(x)). If f(x)=(x²+1)^(x²), you get ln(y)=x² ln(x²+1). Differentiate implicitly to find y′. This approach helps with complicated exponents or multiple factors. Although typically a calculus topic, seeing its basic concept helps expand your understanding of logs beyond static equations, bridging advanced derivative techniques in mathematics or science.
