    Study Notes

    Physics

    • Physics studies matter, its motion, behavior in space and time, and related concepts like energy and force.
    • Key physics branches include classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and quantum mechanics.
    • Classical mechanics uses Newton's laws to understand object motion influenced by forces.
    • Electromagnetism explores interconnected electric and magnetic phenomena, described by Maxwell's equations.
    • Thermodynamics analyzes heat, work, temperature, and energy transfer.
    • Optics studies light's interaction with matter, including reflection, refraction, and interference.
    • Quantum mechanics details matter and energy behavior at atomic and subatomic levels, involving energy quantization and wave-particle duality.
    • Fundamental forces are gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force.
    • Standardized units (meters, kilograms, seconds, Newtons) are crucial for physics.

    Chemistry

    • Chemistry studies matter's properties, composition, structure, behavior, and changes.
    • It investigates atoms, molecules, and their interactions.
    • Key chemistry branches include organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry.
    • Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-containing compounds, essential for biological processes.
    • Inorganic chemistry studies carbon-free compounds, often used industrially.
    • Physical chemistry applies physics principles to chemical systems, including thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopy.
    • Analytical chemistry develops tools to analyze substance compositions.
    • Chemical reactions involve atom rearrangement to create new substances.
    • Chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic) hold atoms together in compounds.

    Mathematics

    • Mathematics studies quantity, structure, space, and change through logical reasoning and abstract thought.
    • Key mathematical branches include algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics.
    • Algebra uses symbols and rules for manipulation, fundamental for problem-solving and modeling.
    • Geometry examines shapes, sizes, and space properties, including Euclidean, non-Euclidean geometry, and topology.
    • Calculus studies continuous change, using derivatives and integrals to understand motion, growth, and other phenomena.
    • Statistics collects, analyzes, interprets, and presents data, used in research, decisions, and understanding trends. It often involves probability.
    • Fundamental concepts are numbers, sets, functions, and logic; number theory explores properties of number types (integers, rationals, irrationals).
    • Key mathematical tools are equations, inequalities, graphs, and formulas.
