Study Notes
Fundamental Concepts
- Mathematics studies quantity, structure, space, and change.
- Symbolic language represents and manipulates mathematical concepts.
- Mathematics underpins scientific, engineering, and technological disciplines.
Number Systems
- Natural numbers are counting numbers (1, 2, 3...).
- Whole numbers include natural numbers and zero (0, 1, 2, 3...).
- Integers are whole numbers plus their negatives (...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...).
- Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
- Irrational numbers cannot be represented as a fraction of two integers.
- Real numbers encompass rational and irrational numbers.
- Imaginary numbers involve the square root of -1 (√-1), denoted by 'i'.
- Complex numbers are in the form a + bi, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers and 'i' is imaginary.
Arithmetic Operations
- Addition combines numbers.
- Subtraction finds the difference between numbers.
- Multiplication is repeated addition.
- Division is repeated subtraction or finding a quotient.
- Exponentiation is repeated multiplication.
- Roots are the inverse of exponentiation.
Algebra
- Variables represent unknown quantities.
- Expressions combine variables, numbers, and operations.
- Equations state equality between expressions.
- Inequalities show inequality between expressions.
- Polynomials involve variables, coefficients combined by addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
- Factoring breaks expressions into simpler components.
- Solving equations finds values satisfying the equation.
Geometry
- Points have no size.
- Lines are infinitely extending collections of points.
- Angles are formed by two rays sharing an endpoint.
- Polygons with three sides are triangles (three angles).
- Four-sided figures are quadrilaterals.
- Circles have all points equidistant from the center.
- Area measures a two-dimensional region.
- Perimeter is the total boundary length.
- Volume measures three-dimensional space.
- Solids are three-dimensional objects with surfaces and volume.
Trigonometry
- Trigonometric functions relate sides and angles in right-angled triangles.
- Sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant are trigonometric functions.
- Trigonometry is used for solving triangles, navigation, engineering, and astronomy.
Calculus
- Limits describe the value a function approaches as input changes.
- Derivatives measure the rate of change of a function.
- Integrals accumulate a function over an interval.
- Calculus is applied to optimization problems, motion analysis, and curve sketching.
Discrete Mathematics
- Logic studies reasoning and arguments.
- Sets are collections of objects.
- Relations are connections or mappings between sets.
- Functions are specific types of relations.
- Counting methods involve permutations and combinations.
- Graphs visually represent relationships.
