Basic Arithmetic and Number Systems

Study Notes

Basic Arithmetic Operations

Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find their total.
Subtraction: Finding the difference between two numbers.
Multiplication: Repeated addition of the same number.
Division: Separating a number into equal parts.

Number Systems

Natural numbers (counting numbers): 1, 2, 3, ...
Whole numbers: Natural numbers and zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
Integers: Whole numbers and their negative counterparts (... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
Rational numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not zero.
Irrational numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
Real numbers: The set of all rational and irrational numbers.
Complex numbers: Numbers that include both real and imaginary components, expressed in the form a + bi, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers and 'i' is the imaginary unit (√−1).

Algebra

Variables: Symbols used to represent unknown quantities.
Expressions: Combinations of variables, numbers, and operators.
Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal.
Inequalities: Statements that compare two expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, ≥.
Solving equations: Finding the value of the unknown variable that makes the equation true.
Solving inequalities: Finding the range of values of the unknown variable that make the inequality true.
Functions: Relationships between variables, where each input has a unique output.
Linear equations: Equations that represent a straight line on a graph.
Quadratic equations: Equations that can be written in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where 'a', 'b', and 'c' are constants and 'x' is the variable.

Geometry

Points: Basic building blocks of geometry.
Lines: One-dimensional figures that extend infinitely in both directions.
Planes: Two-dimensional surfaces that extend infinitely in all directions.
Angles: Formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
Polygons: Closed figures formed by line segments.
Triangles: Polygons with three sides.
Quadrilaterals: Polygons with four sides.
Circles: Set of all points equidistant from a central point.
Perimeter: The total distance around a two-dimensional shape.
Area: The amount of space enclosed by a two-dimensional shape.
Volume: The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
Solid shapes: Three-dimensional figures like cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders.

Calculus

Limits: The value a function approaches as an input approaches a certain value.
Derivatives: Rate of change of a function.
Integrals: Accumulation of a function.
Applications: Optimization, motion, and modeling.

Statistics

Data collection: Gathering information.
Data organization: Arranging information in a meaningful way.
Data analysis: Interpreting data to draw conclusions.
Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode): Representing the central point of a dataset.
Measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation): Describing the spread of data.
Probability: The likelihood of an event occurring.

Discrete Mathematics

Sets: Collections of objects.
Relations: Connections between objects.
Functions: Relationships between inputs and outputs.
Logic: Statements and their truth values.
Counting principles: Determining the number of possible outcomes.
Graphs: Visual representation of relationships.
Trees: Special types of graphs.
Algorithms: Step-by-step procedures for solving problems.

Number Theory

Prime numbers: Numbers divisible only by 1 and themselves.
Divisibility: Relationship between numbers where one is a factor of another.
Congruence: Comparing the remainders of numbers divided by a divisor.
Modular arithmetic: Performing arithmetic operations with remainders.
Diophantine equations: Solving equations with integer solutions.
