Numbers
- Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ...
- Integers: ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...
- Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., 1/2, -3/4)
- Irrational Numbers: Cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (e.g., π, √2)
Operations
- Addition (+)
- Subtraction (-)
- Multiplication (×)
- Division (÷)

Variables: Symbols that represent numbers (e.g., x, y)
Expressions: Combinations of numbers, variables, and operators (e.g., 2x + 3)
Equations: Mathematical statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7)
Polynomials: Expressions consisting of variables raised to non-negative integer powers (e.g., 3x^2 + 2x + 1)

Shapes and Figures
- 2D Shapes: Circles, triangles, squares, rectangles
- 3D Shapes: Cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones
Properties
- Area: Amount of space inside a shape
- Perimeter: Distance around a shape
- Volume: Amount of space inside a 3D object

Key Functions
- Sine (sin)
- Cosine (cos)
- Tangent (tan)
Right Triangle Relationships
- Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c² (where c is the hypotenuse)

Limits: Value a function approaches as the input approaches a point
Derivatives: Measure of how a function changes as its input changes
Integrals: Represents accumulation of quantities, such as area under a curve

Data Types
- Qualitative: Categorical data (e.g., colors, types)
- Quantitative: Numerical data (e.g., height, weight)
Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: Average of data
- Median: Middle value when data is ordered
- Mode: Most frequently occurring value

Basic Concepts
- Experiment: An action or process that yields one or several outcomes
- Event: A specific outcome or combination of outcomes
- Probability: Measure of the likelihood of an event occurring, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain)

Inductive Reasoning: Deriving general principles from specific examples
Deductive Reasoning: Starting from a general principle and deriving specific instances

Real-Life Applications:
- Finance (budgeting, interest calculations)
- Engineering (design and analysis)
- Data Science (statistics, machine learning)

Natural Numbers: These are also called "counting numbers", starting with 1 and continuing indefinitely.
Integers: All positive and negative whole numbers, including zero.
Rational Numbers: These can be expressed as a fraction, where numerator and denominator are integers, with the denominator not equal to zero.
Irrational Numbers: Cannot be expressed as a simple fraction but are real numbers. They have decimal representations that continue infinitely and don't repeat.

Basic Arithmetic Operations:
- Addition (+)
- Subtraction (-)
- Multiplication (×)
- Division (÷)

Variables: Letters used to represent unknown values.
Expressions: Combinations of constants, variables, and operations.
Equations: Mathematical statements that declare the equality of two expressions.
Polynomials: Expressions with terms containing variables raised to non-negative integer powers. The exponents are whole numbers.

Shapes and Figures
- Two-Dimensional (2D): Such as circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, where the figures lie in a single plane.
- Three-Dimensional (3D): These shapes have volume, such as cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones.
Properties
- Area: The amount of surface enclosed within a two-dimensional shape.
- Perimeter: The total distance around the boundary of a two-dimensional shape.
- Volume: The amount of space a three-dimensional object occupies.

Key Trigonometric Functions:
- Sine (sin): The ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Cosine (cos): The ratio between the adjacent side and the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Tangent (tan): The ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side in a right triangle.
Right Triangle Relationships:
- Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This relationship is represented as a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Limits: The value that a function approaches as the input approaches a specific point.
Derivatives: Measure of how a function changes as its input changes. This is useful for determining the rate of change at a given point.
Integrals: Calculate accumulated values under a curve. This can be used to determine areas, volumes, and other quantities.

Data Types:
- Qualitative Data: Categorical data (e.g., colors, types, preferences)
- Quantitative Data: Numerical data (e.g., height, weight, temperature)
Measures of Central Tendency:
- Mean: The average of a set of data points.
- Median: The middle value in a sorted set of data.
- Mode: The most frequent value in a data set.

Basic Concepts:
- Experiment: A procedure with a well-defined outcome.
- Event: A specific outcome or set of outcomes within an experiment.
- Probability: The likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain).

Inductive Reasoning: Deriving general principles based on specific observations and examples.
Deductive Reasoning: Starting with a general principle and applying it to specific instances.

Finance: Budgeting, interest calculations, financial planning.
Engineering: Design and analysis of structures, systems, and products.
Data Science: Analyzing large datasets using statistics, machine learning, and algorithms.

Calculators: Used to perform calculations, especially those that are complex or require special functions.
Graphing Software: Used to visualize functions, data, and relationships.
Spreadsheets: Used for organizing and analyzing numerical data, performing calculations, and creating charts and graphs.
