Study Notes
Fundamental Arithmetic Operations
- Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find their total. Commutative property applies (order doesn't matter: a + b = b + a). Associative property applies (grouping doesn't change the result: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).
- Subtraction: Finding the difference between two numbers. Inverse operation of addition.
- Multiplication: Repeated addition of the same number. Commutative and associative properties also apply. Distributive property (a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c) relates multiplication to addition.
- Division: Finding how many times one number is contained within another. Inverse operation of multiplication.
Number Systems
- Natural Numbers (N): Counting numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).
- Whole Numbers (W): Natural numbers plus zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Integers (Z): Whole numbers and their opposites (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Rational Numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not zero. Includes terminating and repeating decimals.
- Irrational Numbers (I): Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples include π and √2.
- Real Numbers (R): The set of all rational and irrational numbers.
- Imaginary Numbers: Numbers involving the square root of -1 (√-1) represented by 'i' in mathematical equations.
- Complex Numbers: A combination of a real number and an imaginary number (a + bi), where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers.
Basic Algebra
- Variables: Symbols (like x, y, z) representing unknown values.
- Equations: Statements showing the equality between two expressions. Solving equations involves finding the value(s) of the variable(s) that make the equation true.
- Inequalities: Statements showing one expression is greater than or less than another expression. Symbols include > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), ≤ (less than or equal to).
- Expressions: Combinations of numbers and variables combined with mathematical operations.
- Exponents: Repeated multiplication of a number by itself. An means 'a' multiplied by itself 'n' times.
Geometry
- Points, Lines, and Planes: Fundamental geometric objects.
- Angles: Formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint. Measured in degrees or radians.
- Polygons: Two-dimensional shapes with straight sides (e.g., triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons).
- Circles: Two-dimensional shapes with all points equidistant from a central point (the center).
- Area and Perimeter: Measures of the space enclosed by a two-dimensional shape and the distance around the shape respectively.
- Volume: Measure of the space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
Data Analysis
- Collecting Data: Gathering information.
- Organizing and Representing Data: Using tables, charts (bar charts, histograms), and graphs to display collected information.
- Measures of Central Tendency: Mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value) describe typical values in a dataset.
- Measures of Dispersion: Range, variance, and standard deviation describe how spread out the data is.
Functions
- Definition: A relation where each input has only one output.
- Domain: Set of all possible input values.
- Range: Set of all possible output values.
- Notation: f(x) represents the output of a function f when the input is x.
- Types: Linear, quadratic, exponential, trigonometric, etc.
Set Theory
- Sets: Collections of objects.
- Subsets: Sets contained within another set.
- Union: Combining elements of two or more sets.
- Intersection: The elements common to two or more sets.
- Complement: All elements not included in a specific subset.
Logic
- Statements: Declarations that can be either true or false.
- Truth Tables: Used to analyze the logical relationship between statements.
- Logical Operators: AND, OR, NOT. These combine statements to form compound statements.
Counting Methods
- Permutations: Ordered arrangements of items.
- Combinations: Unordered selections of items.
- Fundamental Principle of Counting: Used to determine the total number of outcomes in multiple independent events.
Probability
- Basic Concepts: Likelihood of events occurring.
- Probability of an event: Ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes.
- Conditional Probability: Probability of an event given that another event has occurred.
Calculus (Preliminary)
- Limits: Behavior of a function as inputs approach a particular value.
- Derivatives: Measures the instantaneous rate of change of a function.
- Integrals: Find the area under a curve or total accumulation.
Number Theory
- Prime Numbers: Whole numbers greater than 1 that are only divisible by 1 and themselves.
- Divisibility Rules: Rules to determine if a number is divisible by another number.
- Greatest Common Divisor (GCD): Largest whole number that divides two or more numbers.
- Least Common Multiple (LCM): Smallest whole number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
