Branches of Math

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

Operations

• Addition is represented by the '+' symbol.
• Subtraction is represented by the '-' symbol.
• Multiplication is represented by the '×' symbol.
• Division is represented by the '÷' symbol.
• Exponents are powers.
• Roots include square, cube, and so on.

Functions

• The domain is the set of input values.
• The range is the set of output values.
• Composition combines functions.

Theorems and Principles

• The Pythagorean Theorem states that a² + b² = c² for right-angled triangles.
• The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that every non-constant polynomial equation has at least one complex root.
• The Central Limit Theorem states that the distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases.
