Study Notes

Branches of Mathematics

  • Arithmetic: study of numbers and their operations (e.g. addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
  • Algebra: study of variables and their relationships, often expressed through equations and functions
  • Geometry: study of shapes, sizes, and positions of objects
  • Calculus: study of change and motion, including limits, derivatives, and integrals
  • Number Theory: study of properties of integers and other whole numbers
  • Combinatorics: study of counting and arranging objects in different ways

Mathematical Concepts

  • Variables: symbols that represent unknown values or quantities
  • Constants: values that do not change
  • Equations: statements that express the equality of two mathematical expressions
  • Functions: relations between variables, often represented as f(x) = y
  • Graphs: visual representations of functions and relationships
  • Proofs: logical and systematic arguments to establish the truth of a mathematical statement

Mathematical Operations

  • Addition: combining two or more numbers to get a total or sum
  • Subtraction: finding the difference between two numbers
  • Multiplication: repeated addition of a number
  • Division: finding the quotient of two numbers
  • Exponents: powers to which a number is raised (e.g. 2^3 = 8)
  • ** Roots**: values that, when multiplied by themselves, give a specified number (e.g. √4 = 2)

Mathematical Tools and Symbols

  • ** Numbers**: integers, fractions, decimals, and other numerical values
  • Operators: symbols used to perform mathematical operations (e.g. +, -, ×, ÷)
  • Parentheses: used to group expressions and clarify order of operations
  • Symbols: abbreviations and notation used to represent mathematical concepts (e.g. π, e, ∞)
