Study Notes
Branches of Math
- Arithmetic: Deals with the study of numbers and their operations (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
- Algebra: Focuses on variables and their relationships, often expressed through equations and functions
- Geometry: Examines the properties and relationships of shapes, including points, lines, angles, and solids
-
Calculus: Divided into two main branches:
- Differential Calculus: Studies rates of change and slopes of curves
- Integral Calculus: Deals with accumulation of quantities and areas under curves
- Statistics: Concerned with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data
- Topology: Studies the properties of shapes and spaces that are preserved under continuous deformations
Key Concepts
-
Numbers:
- Natural Numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
- Whole Numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
- Integers (...,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
- Rational Numbers (fractions, decimals, percentages)
- Irrational Numbers (non-repeating decimals)
- Real Numbers (includes rational and irrational numbers)
- Complex Numbers (includes real and imaginary parts)
-
Operations:
- Addition (+)
- Subtraction (-)
- Multiplication (×)
- Division (÷)
- Exponents (powers)
- Roots (square, cube, etc.)
-
Functions:
- Domain: Set of input values
- Range: Set of output values
- Composition: Combining functions
Theorems and Principles
- Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (right-angled triangles)
- Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: Every non-constant polynomial equation has at least one complex root
- Central Limit Theorem: The distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases
