Algebra

  • Variables & Expressions

    • Variables: Symbols representing numbers (e.g., x, y)
    • Expressions: Combinations of numbers and variables (e.g., 2x + 3)
  • Equations

    • Solving equations involves finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
    • Example: 2x + 3 = 11; solve for x.

Geometry

  • Shapes

    • 2D: Circle, Triangle, Square, Rectangle, etc.
    • 3D: Sphere, Cube, Cylinder, Cone, etc.
  • Properties

    • Area: Measure of space inside a shape (e.g., Area of a rectangle = length × width).
    • Perimeter: Total distance around a shape (e.g., Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)).
    • Volume: Measure of space inside a 3D object (e.g., Volume of a cube = side³).

Trigonometry

  • Basics

    • Studies relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
    • Key functions: Sine (sin), Cosine (cos), Tangent (tan).
  • Right Triangle Relationships

    • sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
    • cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
    • tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

Calculus

  • Differentiation

    • Process of finding the derivative (rate of change) of a function.
    • Notation: f'(x) or dy/dx.
  • Integration

    • Process of finding the integral (area under the curve) of a function.
    • Notation: ∫f(x)dx.

Statistics

  • Data Types

    • Qualitative: Categorical data (e.g., colors, names).
    • Quantitative: Numerical data (e.g., age, height).
  • Descriptive Statistics

    • Mean: Average value.
    • Median: Middle value when data is ordered.
    • Mode: Most frequently occurring value.
  • Probability

    • Likelihood of an event occurring.
    • Ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).

Mathematical Reasoning

  • Logic

    • Understanding valid arguments and reasoning patterns.
    • Example: If P, then Q (Conditional statements).
  • Proof Techniques

    • Direct Proof: Establishes truth directly.
    • Indirect Proof: Assumes the negation to show contradiction.
    • Mathematical Induction: Proving a base case and an inductive step.

Key Formulas

  • Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right-angled triangles).
  • Quadratic Formula: x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac)) / 2a (for solving ax² + bx + c = 0).
  • Circle Area: A = Ï€r² (where r is the radius).
  • Circle Circumference: C = 2Ï€r.

Basic Concepts

  • Natural numbers are positive whole numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3...).
  • Whole numbers include zero and all natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3...).
  • Integers encompass all whole numbers and their negative counterparts (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...)
  • Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are integers (e.g., 1/2, 3/4).
  • Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction and have infinite non-repeating decimal representations (e.g., √2, Ï€).
  • Arithmetic operations are fundamental mathematical operations: addition (+), subtraction (−), multiplication (×), and division (÷).

Algebra

  • Variables are symbols like x or y that represent unknown numerical values.
  • Expressions are combinations of variables, numbers, and mathematical operations (e.g., 2x + 3).
  • Equations express equality between two expressions, and solving them involves finding the values of variables that satisfy the equation.

Geometry

  • Two-dimensional shapes (2D) include circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles, and exist within a plane.
  • Three-dimensional shapes (3D) have volume and include spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones.
  • Area measures the space enclosed within a 2D shape.
  • Perimeter represents the total distance around the outside of a 2D shape.
  • Volume quantifies the space occupied by a 3D object.

Trigonometry

  • Trigonometry explores the relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
  • Key trigonometric functions include sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan).
  • Right triangles have one angle measuring 90 degrees.
  • Sine, cosine, and tangent are defined in terms of the sides of a right triangle in relation to a specific angle.

Calculus

  • Differentiation determines the derivative of a function, which represents its rate of change.
  • Integration finds the integral of a function, which represents the area under its curve.

Statistics

  • Data types are broadly categorized as qualitative (categorical) and quantitative (numerical).
  • Descriptive statistics summarize data using measures like mean, median, and mode.
  • Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).

Mathematical Reasoning

  • Logic involves understanding valid arguments and reasoning patterns, such as conditional statements ("If P, then Q").
  • Proof techniques are methods for demonstrating the truth of mathematical statements.
  • Direct proof directly shows the truth of a statement.
  • Indirect proof assumes the negation of a statement, aiming to reach a contradiction.
  • Mathematical induction proves a statement for all natural numbers through a base case and an inductive step.

Key Formulas

  • Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² applies to right-angled triangles, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
