Study Notes
Branches of Mathematics
- Arithmetic: Deals with basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Forms the foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
- Algebra: Uses symbols and variables to represent numbers and relationships. Generalizes arithmetic principles and solves equations.
- Geometry: Focuses on shapes, sizes, and positions in space. Uses points, lines, angles, and surfaces.
- Calculus: Deals with continuous change, rates of change, and accumulation. Includes differential and integral calculus.
- Statistics: Collects, organizes, analyzes, interprets, and presents numerical data.
- Trigonometry: Relates angles and sides of triangles, crucial for right-angled triangles and angle/distance problems.
- Number Theory: Studies properties of numbers (prime numbers, integers), divisibility, and factorization.
- Discrete Mathematics: Focuses on objects and sets with distinct values, useful in computer science.
- Linear Algebra: Studies vectors, matrices, their properties, systems of linear equations, and data transformations.
Basic Mathematical Concepts
- Sets: Collections of objects; fundamental for grouping and classifying elements.
- Functions: Relationships where an output corresponds to an input; crucial for modeling real-world phenomena.
- Variables: Symbols representing unknowns or changeable quantities; essential for algebraic expressions.
- Equations: Mathematical statements where both sides are equal; used to solve for unknowns.
- Inequalities: Relationships between expressions that aren't equal; represent conditions or ranges of values.
- Logarithms: Inverse of exponentiation; simplifying calculations with very large or small numbers.
Fundamental Operations
- Addition: Combining two or more quantities.
- Subtraction: Finding the difference between two quantities.
- Multiplication: Repeated addition of a quantity.
- Division: Breaking down a quantity into equal parts.
Common Mathematical Symbols

- "-" (subtraction)
- "×" or "*" (multiplication)
- "/" (division)
- "=" (equality)
- "≠" (inequality)
- ">" (greater than)
- "<" (less than)
- "≥" (greater than or equal to)
- "≤" (less than or equal to)
