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 the use of symbols, equations, and functions
- Geometry: Study of shapes, sizes, and positions of objects
- Calculus: Study of change and motion, including limits, derivatives, and integrals
- Trigonometry: Study of triangles and the relationships between their sides and angles
- Statistics: Study of the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data
- Topology: Study of the properties of shapes and spaces that are preserved under continuous transformations
Key Concepts
-
Numbers:
- Natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, ...
- Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Rational numbers: fractions (e.g., 3/4, 22/7)
- Irrational numbers: cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or fraction (e.g., π, e)
- Real numbers: includes all rational and irrational numbers
-
Operations:
- Binary operations: take two inputs (e.g., 2 + 3, 4 × 5)
- Unary operations: take one input (e.g., -x, 1/x)
-
Equations and Inequalities:
- Linear equations: degree of 1 (e.g., 2x + 3 = 5)
- Quadratic equations: degree of 2 (e.g., x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0)
- Inequalities: statements that compare two expressions using <, >, ≤, or ≥
Theorems and Axioms
-
Famous theorems:
- Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (right-angled triangles)
- Fermat's last theorem: no integer solutions for a^n + b^n = c^n (n > 2)
-
Axioms: fundamental assumptions that form the basis of mathematics
- Peano axioms: define the natural numbers
- Euclid's axioms: define geometry
Branches of Mathematics
- Arithmetic studies numbers and their operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Algebra involves variables and their relationships, often expressed through symbols, equations, and functions.
- Geometry examines shapes, sizes, and positions of objects.
- Calculus explores change and motion, including limits, derivatives, and integrals.
- Trigonometry focuses on triangles and the relationships between their sides and angles.
- Statistics deals with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data.
- Topology studies the properties of shapes and spaces that are preserved under continuous transformations.
Key Concepts
Numbers
- Natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Integers are ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Rational numbers are fractions, such as 3/4 and 22/7.
- Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a finite decimal or fraction, for example π and e.
- Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers.
Operations
- Binary operations take two inputs, such as 2 + 3 and 4 × 5.
- Unary operations take one input, such as -x and 1/x.
Equations and Inequalities
- Linear equations have a degree of 1, such as 2x + 3 = 5.
- Quadratic equations have a degree of 2, such as x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0.
- Inequalities are statements that compare two expressions using <, ≤, or ≥.
Theorems and Axioms
Famous Theorems
- The Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for right-angled triangles.
- Fermat's last theorem states that there are no integer solutions for a^n + b^n = c^n when n is greater than 2.
Axioms
- Peano axioms define the natural numbers.
- Euclid's axioms define geometry.
