      • Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
      • Functions: Relationships between sets of values, typically expressed as f(x).
      • Linear Equations: Equations of the first degree; graph is a straight line.
      • Quadratic Equations: Equations of the second degree; standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0.

    Probability

    • Definition: Study of randomness and uncertainty; quantifies the likelihood of events.
    • Key Concepts:
      • Experiment: A procedure that produces outcomes.
      • Sample Space (S): The set of all possible outcomes.
      • Event: A subset of the sample space.
      • Probability (P): Measure of the likelihood of an event occurring, ( P(A) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} ).
      • Independent Events: Events where the outcome of one does not affect the other.
      • Conditional Probability: Probability of an event given that another event has occurred, ( P(A|B) ).

    Geometry

    • Definition: Study of shapes, sizes, and properties of space.
    • Key Concepts:
      • Points, Lines, and Planes: Basic building blocks of geometry.
      • Angles: Formed by two rays with a common endpoint; measured in degrees.
      • Triangles: Three-sided polygons; types include equilateral, isosceles, and scalene.
      • Circles: Set of points equidistant from a center point; key terms include radius, diameter, and circumference.
      • Area and Volume: Measurements for two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, respectively.
      • The Pythagorean Theorem: In right triangles, ( a² + b² = c² ).

    Number Theory

    • Definition: Branch of mathematics dealing with the properties and relationships of numbers, particularly integers.
    • Key Concepts:
      • Prime Numbers: Natural numbers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves.
      • Composite Numbers: Natural numbers that have more than two positive divisors.
      • Divisibility: A number a is divisible by b if ( a = b \cdot k ) for some integer k.
      • Greatest Common Divisor (GCD): The largest positive integer that divides two or more integers without a remainder.
      • Least Common Multiple (LCM): The smallest positive integer that is divisible by two or more integers.

    Calculus

    • Definition: Study of change and motion; focuses on rates of change (differentiation) and accumulation of quantities (integration).
    • Key Concepts:
      • Limits: The value that a function approaches as the input approaches a certain point.
      • Derivatives: Measure the rate of change of a function; denoted as ( f'(x) ) or ( \frac{dy}{dx} ).
      • Integrals: Measure of the accumulation of quantities; represented as ( \int f(x)dx ).
      • Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Links differentiation and integration, providing a way to evaluate definite integrals.
