    Study Notes

    Arithmetic

    • Arithmetic is the foundation of mathematics and involves understanding the properties of numbers and the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
    • Natural numbers (ℕ) are used for counting and include all non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
    • Integers (ℤ) are a broader set of numbers, encompassing positive and negative numbers as well as zero ([−∞..-2,-1,0,+1+2…+∞]).
    • Rational numbers (ℚ) include integers and fractions. The sum can be represented by the symbol ∑.

    Addition

    • Adding two natural numbers always results in another natural number.
    • Adding two numbers with the same sign (e.g., two positive numbers or two negative numbers) results in a sum with the same sign and the values added together.
    • When adding numbers with opposite signs, subtract the smaller value from the larger value and assign the sign of the larger value to the result.

    Subtraction

    • Subtraction involves subtracting one number (subtrahend) from another (minuend) to obtain the difference.
    • Subtraction is characterized by invariance, meaning the result remains unchanged when the same number is added to or subtracted from both the minuend and subtrahend.

    Multiplication

    • Multiplication involves combining two numbers (factors or multiplicand and multiplier) to get a product.
    • Multiplication is commutative, meaning the order of the factors doesn't affect the result.
    • The greatest common divisor (G.C.D.) is the largest number that divides two or more numbers.
    • The least common multiple (l.c.m.) is the smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

    Measures and Conversion Factors

    • Units of measurement are standards for quantifying physical quantities.
    • Different systems of measurement exist globally, but the International System (SI) is widely used.
    • The SI has 7 main units: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (current intensity), kelvin (temperature), mole (quantity of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).
    • Conversion factors are used to compare values in different units of measurement.

    Weights

    • Mass is the quantity of matter in a body and is measured in grams (g) using the International System.
    • Multiples of the gram include decagram (1 dag = 10 g), hectogram (1 hg = 100 g), kilogram (1 kg = 1000 g), quintal (1 q = 100 kg), and ton (1 ton = 1000 kg).
    • Subdivisions include decigram (1 dg = 0.1 g), centigram (1 cg = 0.01 g), and milligram (1 mg = 0.001 g).
    • In the British system, the pound is the primary unit of mass (1 pound = 0.453 kg).

    Percentages

    • Percentages express a fraction of a whole as a proportion out of 100.
    • To calculate a percentage, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100.

    Averages

    • The average (mean) provides a representative value by summing all values and dividing by the number of values.

    Squares

    • The square of a number is the result of that number multiplied by itself.
    • The square of any real number is always greater than or equal to 0.
    • The square of an integer can be represented as the sum of consecutive odd numbers.

    Algebra

    • Algebra involves symbols and variables to represent unknown quantities and solve equations.
    • Like terms share the same variable and/or exponent and can be combined through addition or subtraction.
    • To evaluate algebraic expressions, follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

    Addition in Algebra

    • Adding terms with the same sign involves adding their values and keeping the common sign.
    • Adding terms with opposite signs involves subtracting them and assigning the sign of the larger term to the result.

    Subtraction in Algebra

    • To subtract terms with different signs, change the sign of the subtrahend and turn the operation into an addition.
    • Then, apply the rules for addition with different signs.
