Numbers and Operations

  • Types of Numbers:
    • Natural Numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Whole Numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Integers (...,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Rational Numbers (fractions, decimals)
    • Irrational Numbers (non-repeating, non-terminating decimals)
  • Number Operations:
    • Addition (+)
    • Subtraction (-)
    • Multiplication (×)
    • Division (÷)
    • Exponents (powers)
    • Roots (square, cube, etc.)

Algebra

  • Variables and Expressions:
    • Variables (letters or symbols representing unknown values)
    • Expressions (combinations of variables, numbers, and operations)
    • Simplifying expressions (combining like terms)
  • Equations and Inequalities:
    • Linear Equations (e.g. 2x + 3 = 5)
    • Quadratic Equations (e.g. x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0)
    • Inequalities (e.g. 2x - 3 > 5)

Geometry

  • Points, Lines, and Planes:
    • Points (locations in space)
    • Lines (sets of points extending infinitely)
    • Planes (flat surfaces)
  • Angles and Measurements:
    • Angle types (acute, obtuse, right, straight)
    • Degree measurements (0° - 360°)
    • Calculating perimeter and area of shapes

Statistics and Probability

  • Data Analysis:
    • Types of data (qualitative, quantitative)
    • Data visualization (charts, graphs, tables)
    • Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode)
  • Probability:
    • Basic concepts (events, sample spaces, probability rules)
    • Calculating probability (theoretical, experimental)
    • Conditional probability and independence

Calculus

  • Limits:
    • Concept of limits
    • Evaluating limits (direct substitution, factoring)
  • Derivatives:
    • Definition of derivatives
    • Rules of differentiation (power rule, product rule, etc.)
    • Applications of derivatives (optimization, motion)
  • Integrals:
    • Definition of integrals
    • Basic integration rules (substitution, integration by parts)
    • Applications of integrals (area, volume, work)

Numbers and Operations

  • There are five types of numbers: Natural Numbers, Whole Numbers, Integers, Rational Numbers, and Irrational Numbers.

  • Natural Numbers are positive integers starting from 1.

  • Whole Numbers are non-negative integers including 0.

  • Integers include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts.

  • Rational Numbers are expressed as fractions or decimals.

  • Irrational Numbers are non-repeating, non-terminating decimals.

  • There are six basic number operations: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Exponents, and Roots.

  • Addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as are multiplication and division.

  • Exponents represent repeated multiplication, and roots represent the opposite operation.

Algebra

  • Variables are letters or symbols representing unknown values.
  • Expressions are combinations of variables, numbers, and operations.
  • Simplifying expressions involves combining like terms.
  • Equations are statements that express the equality of two expressions.
  • Inequalities are statements that compare two expressions using greater than, less than, or equal to.

Geometry

  • A point is a location in space, represented by a set of coordinates.
  • A line is a set of points extending infinitely in two directions.
  • A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely.
  • Angles are formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
  • Angles can be acute, obtuse, right, or straight.
  • Degrees are used to measure angles, ranging from 0° to 360°.

Statistics and Probability

  • Data can be qualitative or quantitative.
  • Data visualization involves using charts, graphs, and tables to display data.
  • Measures of central tendency include the mean, median, and mode.
  • Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring.
  • Probability rules include the complement rule and the multiplication rule.
  • Conditional probability and independence are used to calculate the probability of multiple events.

Calculus

  • Limits are used to study how functions behave as the input approaches a certain value.
  • The concept of limits is essential for understanding calculus.
  • Evaluating limits involves using direct substitution, factoring, or other methods.
  • Derivatives measure the rate of change of a function.
  • The definition of derivatives involves the limit of the difference quotient.
  • Rules of differentiation include the power rule, product rule, and quotient rule.
  • Applications of derivatives include optimization and motion problems.
  • Integrals are used to calculate the area under curves or the accumulation of a quantity.
  • The definition of integrals involves the limit of the sum of the areas of rectangles.
  • Basic integration rules include substitution, integration by parts, and integration by partial fractions.
  • Applications of integrals include finding area, volume, and work.
