Study Notes
Calculus
- Definition: Branch of mathematics that studies continuous change.
-
Key Concepts:
- Limits: Fundamental concept for understanding derivatives and integrals.
-
Derivatives: Measure of how a function changes as its input changes.
- Notation: f'(x) or dy/dx.
- Rules: Product rule, quotient rule, chain rule.
-
Integrals: Represents accumulation of quantities and area under curves.
- Indefinite integrals (antiderivatives) and definite integrals (specific bounds).
- Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links differentiation and integration.
Arithmetic
- Definition: Branch of mathematics dealing with numbers and basic operations.
-
Key Operations:
- Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
-
Properties:
- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a (for addition), a × b = b × a (for multiplication).
- Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
- Order of Operations: PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
Geometry
- Definition: Study of shapes, sizes, and properties of space.
-
Key Concepts:
- Points, Lines, and Angles: Basic building blocks of geometry.
-
Shapes:
- 2D: Circles, triangles, rectangles, polygons.
- 3D: Spheres, cubes, cylinders, cones.
- Theorems: Pythagorean theorem (in right triangles), properties of angles (complementary, supplementary).
- Area and Volume: Formulas for calculating area (e.g., A=πr² for circles) and volume (e.g., V=lwh for rectangles).
Algebra
- Definition: Branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating them.
-
Key Concepts:
- Variables: Symbols (like x, y) used to represent unknown values.
- Expressions: Combinations of variables and constants (e.g., 3x + 4).
- Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Functions: Relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs (e.g., f(x) = 2x + 1).
- Operations: Solving equations and inequalities, factoring expressions, working with polynomials.
Calculus
- Branch of mathematics focused on the study of continuous change.
- Limits: Essential for comprehending derivatives and integrals; foundational concept.
- Derivatives: Represent how a function's output changes with respect to its input. Notation is f'(x) or dy/dx.
- Important rules include:
- Product rule: Used for differentiating products of functions.
- Quotient rule: Used for differentiating ratios of functions.
- Chain rule: Used for differentiating composite functions.
- Integrals: Indicate accumulation of quantities over intervals and calculate area under curves.
- Two types:
- Indefinite integrals: Represent antiderivatives without specific bounds.
- Definite integrals: Calculate area between specific limits.
- Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Establishes the relationship between differentiation and integration.
Arithmetic
- Branch of mathematics focused on numbers and basic operations.
- Key operations include:
- Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Properties include:
- Associative Property: Grouping in addition or multiplication does not affect the outcome, e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
- Commutative Property: Order of addition or multiplication does not change the result, e.g., a + b = b + a and a × b = b × a.
- Distributive Property: Describes how multiplication distributes over addition, e.g., a(b + c) = ab + ac.
- Order of Operations: Follow PEMDAS to correctly evaluate expressions: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.
Geometry
- Study of shapes, sizes, and properties of space and figures.
- Basic elements: Points, lines, and angles serve as fundamental building blocks.
- Types of shapes:
- 2D shapes: Circles, triangles, rectangles, and polygons.
- 3D shapes: Spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones.
- Theorems such as the Pythagorean theorem apply in right triangles to relate the lengths of sides.
- Properties of angles include:
- Complementary angles: Sum to 90 degrees.
- Supplementary angles: Sum to 180 degrees.
-
Area and Volume calculations:
- Area formulas include A = πr² for circles.
- Volume formulas include V = lwh for rectangular prisms.
Algebra
- Branch of mathematics governing symbols and the rules for their manipulation.
- Variables: Symbols (e.g., x, y) signify unknown values within expressions.

- Equations: Mathematical statements asserting the equality of two expressions (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Functions: Define relationships between inputs and outputs (e.g., f(x) = 2x + 1).
- Key operations involve solving equations/inequalities, factoring expressions, and working with polynomials.
