    Study Notes

    Arithmetic

    • Arithmetic is the branch of mathematics that deals with the basic operations of numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
    • These operations form the foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
    • Addition involves combining quantities.
    • Subtraction involves finding the difference between quantities.
    • Multiplication involves repeated addition.
    • Division involves distributing a quantity into equal parts.
    • Order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) is crucial for evaluating expressions with multiple operations: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

    Algebra

    • Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols to represent numbers and quantities in equations and formulas.
    • Variables are symbols used to represent unknown values.
    • Equations involve an equal sign (=) and represent relationships between variables and numbers.
    • Solving equations involves finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
    • Linear equations relate variables with a degree of 1, forming straight lines when graphed.
    • Quadratic equations involve variables raised to the power of 2, forming parabolas when graphed.

    Geometry

    • Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with shapes, sizes, positions, and properties of figures in space.
    • Basic shapes include points, lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons.
    • Properties of shapes include length, width, height, area, perimeter, and volume.
    • Geometric figures can be 2-dimensional (e.g., polygons, circles) or 3-dimensional (e.g., cubes, spheres).
    • Geometric transformations involve modifying shapes (e.g., rotations, reflections, translations).

    Calculus

    • Calculus involves the study of change and motion.
    • Differential calculus deals with rates of change and tangents to curves.
    • Derivatives represent instantaneous rates of change.
    • Integral calculus deals with accumulation of quantities over intervals.
    • Integrals represent areas bounded by curves.
    • Applications of calculus are present in numerous fields, including physics, engineering, and economics.

    Number Systems

    • Number systems constitute a structured way to represent quantities.
    • Natural numbers (counting numbers) are 1, 2, 3...
    • Whole numbers include natural numbers and 0.
    • Integers include zero, positive and negative natural numbers.
    • Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions (p/q), where p and q are integers (and q is not zero).
    • Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions and their decimal representations are non-repeating and non-terminating (e.g., π, √2).
    • Real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers.
    • Complex numbers include real and imaginary numbers combined.

    Statistics

    • Statistics involve collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data.
    • Data can be represented using tables, charts, or graphs.
    • Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) describe the typical value in a dataset.
    • Measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation) show the spread of the data around the central tendency.
    • Probability describes the likelihood of an event occurring.
    • Statistical inferences are techniques used to draw conclusions about a population based on a sample.
