    Study Notes

    Physics

    • Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and related concepts such as energy and force.
    • Key branches of physics include classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, quantum mechanics, and relativity.
    • Classical mechanics deals with the motion of macroscopic objects, governed by Newtonian laws of motion.
    • Thermodynamics studies the relationship between heat, work, and temperature.
    • Electromagnetism studies the interactions between electric and magnetic fields.
    • Optics deals with the behavior of light, including reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
    • Quantum mechanics describes the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.
    • Relativity deals with space and time at high speeds and strong gravitational fields.
    • Fundamental forces in physics include the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force.
    • Key concepts in physics include motion, energy, momentum, force, torque, work, power, heat, temperature, pressure, wave, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear reactions.

    Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the science of matter, its composition, properties, and structure, and the changes it undergoes.
    • It studies the interactions of atoms and molecules.
    • Key branches of chemistry include organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry.
    • Organic chemistry studies carbon-based compounds.
    • Inorganic chemistry studies non-carbon-based compounds.
    • Physical chemistry deals with the physical principles underlying chemical phenomena.
    • Analytical chemistry deals with the detection and quantification of substances.
    • Fundamental concepts in chemistry include atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, reactions, equations, stoichiometry, states of matter, solutions, acids, bases, salts, oxidation-reduction reactions, kinetics, and thermodynamics.
    • Key properties of matter include physical properties (e.g., density, melting point, boiling point) and chemical properties (e.g., reactivity, flammability).
    • Chemical bonding involves interactions between atoms to form molecules, including covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds.

    Mathematics

    • Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change.
    • Key branches of mathematics include algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, and statistics.
    • Algebra deals with symbols and rules for manipulating them.
    • Geometry studies shapes and their properties.
    • Calculus deals with rates of change and accumulation.
    • Trigonometry studies relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
    • Statistics studies the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.
    • Fundamental concepts in mathematics include sets, numbers, functions, equations, inequalities, limits, derivatives, integrals, vectors, matrices, probability, and statistical measures (mean, median, mode, standard deviation).
    • Key mathematical tools and structures include number systems (natural, integers, rational, real, complex), polynomials, series, and sequences, graphs, and various types of equations.
    • Mathematical proofs provide rigorous arguments to establish the validity of theorems and propositions.
