    Key Areas of Mathematics

    1. Arithmetic

      • Basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
      • Properties of numbers: even, odd, prime, composite
      • Order of operations: PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction)
    2. Algebra

      • Variables, constants, coefficients
      • Expressions and equations
      • Solving linear equations and inequalities
      • Quadratic equations: factoring, using the quadratic formula
    3. Geometry

      • Basic shapes: triangles, quadrilaterals, circles
      • Properties of angles: acute, obtuse, right, complementary, supplementary
      • Perimeter, area, and volume calculations
      • The Pythagorean theorem
    4. Trigonometry

      • Definitions of sine, cosine, tangent and their reciprocals (cosecant, secant, cotangent)
      • Trigonometric identities: sin² + cos² = 1
      • Unit circle: angles in degrees and radians
      • Applications: solving triangles, periodic functions
    5. Calculus

      • Limits: concept and notation
      • Derivatives: rules (product, quotient, chain) and applications
      • Integrals: definite and indefinite integrals, fundamental theorem of calculus
      • Applications of calculus in rates of change and area under curves
    6. Statistics

      • Descriptive statistics: mean, median, mode, range
      • Probability concepts: basic probability, conditional probability, independent events
      • Distributions: normal distribution, binomial distribution
      • Inferential statistics: hypothesis testing, confidence intervals
    7. Discrete Mathematics

      • Set theory: unions, intersections, complements
      • Graph theory: vertices, edges, paths, cycles
      • Combinatorics: permutations, combinations
      • Logic: propositions, truth tables, logical operators

    Important Mathematical Principles

    • The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Every integer greater than one can be expressed as a product of prime numbers.
    • The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: A polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots in the complex number system.
    • The Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, a² + b² = c² (where c is the hypotenuse).

    Tips for Studying Mathematics

    • Practice regularly and consistently.
    • Work on a variety of problems to strengthen understanding.
    • Make use of visual aids (graphs, diagrams) to understand concepts better.
    • Review and understand formulas; don’t just memorize them.
    • Take notes on problem-solving techniques and strategies.
