Study Notes
Elementary Mathematics 1 (MAT 101) Lecture Notes
-
Set Theory: Deals with collections of objects called sets. Sets are denoted by capital letters. Elements of a set are denoted by lowercase letters. A ∈ A ("a is a member of A"). A subset is a set where all elements are also members of another set (A ⊂ B). A proper subset has at least one more element in the larger set. An empty set (Ø) has no elements.
-
Set Notations and Terminologies: Elements, subsets, proper subsets, and the empty set; denoted as Ø, {} or Λ. Set equality.
-
Universal Set: A set containing all elements being considered, a.k.a. the referenced set or a universal set (denoted by U or ξ).
-
Complement of a Set: The complement of a set A (denoted by A' or Aº) consists of all elements in the universal set U that are not in set A. A' = {x: x ∈ U and x ∉ A}
-
Empty, Null, or Void Set: A set with no elements is designated by Ø, {}, Λ.
-
Singleton Set: A set containing only one element. {2}
-
Equality of Sets: Two sets are equal if they contain the exact same elements.
-
Difference of Sets: The difference between two sets A and B (A - B) is the set of elements that are in A but not in B.
-
Union of Sets: Combining both elements of A and B without any repetition, denoted as A U B.
-
Intersection of Sets: The intersection of two sets A and B (A ∩ B) contains only their common elements.
-
Disjoint Sets: Sets with no common elements (A ∩ B = Ø).
-
Symmetric Difference of Two Sets: The set of elements that are in either A or B but not in both A and B. A △ B = (A - B) ∪ (B - A)
-
Order of a Set: The number of elements a finite set contains.
-
Application of Set Theory: Examples include analyzing student choices (e.g., choosing courses) or describing populations or groups.
-
Real Numbers: Includes:
- Integers: Whole numbers and their opposites. (-∞,+∞).
- Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers and q is not zero.
- Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. Examples: √2, π.
- Real Numbers: The set of all rational and irrational numbers.
-
Surds: Roots of arithmetic numbers with non-repeating and non-terminating values like √2, π.
-
Rationalization of Surds: The process of simplifying a surd expression by getting rid of radicals in the denominator.
-
Square Roots: Finding the value that, when multiplied by itself, produces a given number. Example 1: √7 + 2√6.
-
Remainder Theorem: If a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x-a), the remainder is f(a). If f(a) is 0, (x-a) is a factor.
