Study Notes

Arithmetic

  • Arithmetic is the branch of mathematics dealing with basic number operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • It underpins more complex mathematical concepts.
  • Fundamental arithmetic operations:
    • Addition: Combining quantities.
    • Subtraction: Finding the difference between quantities.
    • Multiplication: Repeated addition.
    • Division: Finding how many times one quantity is in another.
  • Arithmetic properties:
    • Commutative property: Order doesn't change result (a + b = b + a, a × b = b × a).
    • Associative property: Grouping doesn't change result ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c), (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)).
    • Distributive property: Multiplication distributes over addition (a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)).
  • Order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
    • Parentheses (Brackets)
    • Exponents (Orders)
    • Multiplication and Division (left to right)
    • Addition and Subtraction (left to right)

Algebra

  • Algebra uses symbols (variables) to represent numbers and relationships.
  • It expands on arithmetic by introducing unknowns to solve for.
  • Key algebraic concepts:
    • Variables: Symbols for unknown or changing values.
    • Equations: Statements of equality between expressions.
    • Inequalities: Relationships between expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, ≥.
    • Formulas: Equations representing variable relationships.
  • Solving equations: Finding variable values that make the equation true.
    • Techniques involve isolating the variable through inverse operations.
  • Solving inequalities uses similar methods, maintaining the inequality sign.

Geometry

  • Geometry studies shapes, sizes, positions, and spatial properties.
  • Common shapes and their properties:
    • Points, lines, planes
    • Angles
    • Triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons
    • Circles, spheres, cylinders
  • Formulas calculate area, perimeter, and volume.
  • Geometry types include Euclidean, non-Euclidean, and coordinate geometry.

Calculus

  • Calculus analyzes rates of change and accumulation.
  • Differentiation: Finding instantaneous rate of change.
  • Integration: Finding accumulated change.
  • Applications include curve slopes, areas, volumes, optimization, and differential equation solving.

Number Theory

  • Number theory examines number properties, prime numbers, divisibility, and related areas.
  • Prime numbers: Greater than 1, divisible only by 1 and themselves.
  • Divisibility rules: Determine if a number is divisible by another.
  • Congruences: A form of equality expressing remainders when dividing.
  • Connections to cryptography.

Statistics

  • Statistics involves collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data.
  • Descriptive statistics: Summarizing and describing data sets.
  • Inferential statistics: Drawing conclusions about a population from a sample.
  • Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) describe data.
