Study Notes
Branches of Mathematics
- Arithmetic: Study of numbers and their operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Algebra: Study of variables and their relationships, often expressed through the use of symbols, equations, and functions.
- Geometry: Study of shapes, sizes, and positions of objects, including points, lines, angles, and planes.
- Calculus: Study of change and motion, including limits, derivatives, and integrals.
- Number Theory: Study of properties of integers and other whole numbers, including primality, divisibility, and congruences.
- Combinatorics: Study of counting and arranging objects in different ways, including permutations and combinations.
Mathematical Concepts
- Sets: Collections of unique objects, often represented using curly braces {} and described using set operations (union, intersection, difference).
- Functions: Relations between a set of inputs (domain) and a set of possible outputs (range), often represented using variables and equations.
- Graphs: Visual representations of relationships between objects, including nodes, edges, and vertices.
- Probability: Study of chance events and their likelihood of occurrence, including probability distributions and Bayes' theorem.
Mathematical Tools and Techniques
- Proofs: Logical and systematic arguments used to establish the validity of mathematical statements.
- Algorithms: Step-by-step procedures used to solve mathematical problems, including sorting, searching, and calculating.
- Modeling: Use of mathematical equations and formulas to describe real-world phenomena, including population growth, physics, and economics.
