    Study Notes

    Basic Arithmetic

    • Addition (+): Combining two or more numbers to get a sum.
    • Subtraction (−): Removing a number from another to find the difference.
    • Multiplication (×): Repeated addition of a number.
    • Division (÷): Splitting a number into equal parts.

    Algebra

    • Variables: Symbols (like x, y) representing numbers.
    • Expressions: Combinations of numbers and variables (e.g., 2x + 5).
    • Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 5 = 10).
    • Solving equations: Finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

    Geometry

    • Shapes: Basic figures (e.g., squares, circles, triangles).
    • Perimeter: Total length around a shape.
    • Area: Space contained within a shape.
    • Volume: Measurement of space in 3D objects.

    Trigonometry

    • Sine (sin), Cosine (cos), Tangent (tan): Ratios in right triangles.
    • Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c² (relationship between sides in a right triangle).

    Calculus

    • Limits: Value that a function approaches as the input approaches a point.
    • Derivatives: Measure of how a function changes as its input changes.
    • Integrals: Represent accumulation of quantities.

    Statistics

    • Mean: Average of a set of numbers.
    • Median: Middle value in a sorted list.
    • Mode: Most frequently occurring number in a set.
    • Standard deviation: Measure of data spread around the mean.

    Probability

    • Probability: Measure of likelihood of an event (0 to 1 scale).
    • Independent events: One event does not affect another.
    • Dependent events: One event affects the probability of another.

    Functions

    • Definition: A relation where each input has exactly one output.
    • Types of functions: Linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic.
    • Graphs: Visual representation of functions showing relations between variables.

    Number Theory

    • Prime numbers: Natural numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves.
    • Composite numbers: Natural numbers greater than 1 that are not prime.
    • Factors: Numbers that divide another number without leaving a remainder.

    Mathematical Logic

    • Statements: Declarative sentences that are either true or false.
    • Logical operators: AND, OR, NOT (used in constructing logical statements).
    • Proofs: Logical arguments that establish the truth of a statement.

    Basic Arithmetic

    • Addition (+) combines two or more numbers to find their sum.
    • Subtraction (−) removes a number from another to find their difference.
    • Multiplication (×) is like repeated addition of a number.
    • Division (÷) splits a number into equal parts.

    Algebra

    • Variables act as placeholders for unknown numbers.
    • Expressions combine numbers and variables using operations.
    • Equations state that two expressions are equal.
    • Solving equations involves finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

    Geometry

    • Shapes are basic figures like squares, circles, and triangles.
    • Perimeter measures the total length around a shape.
    • Area measures the space contained within a shape.
    • Volume measures the space occupied by a 3D object.

    Trigonometry

    • Sine (sin), Cosine (cos), and Tangent (tan) are ratios of sides in right triangles.
    • Pythagorean theorem relates the sides of a right triangle: a² + b² = c² (where c is the hypotenuse).

    Calculus

    • Limits describe the value a function approaches as its input gets close to a specific point.
    • Derivatives measure how a function changes as its input changes.
    • Integrals represent the accumulation of quantities.

    Statistics

    • Mean represents the average value of a set of numbers.
    • Median is the middle value when a set of numbers is ordered.
    • Mode identifies the most frequent number in a dataset.
    • Standard deviation measures how data points spread around the mean.

    Probability

    • Probability measures the likelihood of an event happening, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
    • Independent events don't influence each other's probabilities.
    • Dependent events have probabilities that influence each other.

    Functions

    • A function assigns a unique output to each input.
    • Types include linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
    • Graphs visually represent functions and their relationships between variables.

    Number Theory

    • Prime numbers have only two divisors: 1 and themselves.
    • Composite numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that aren't prime.
    • Factors are numbers that divide another number evenly without leaving a remainder.

    Mathematical Logic

    • Statements are sentences that can be either true or false.
    • Logical operators (e.g., AND, OR, NOT) combine statements to create complex expressions.
    • Proofs establish the truth of a statement through logical arguments.
