Study Notes
Key Concepts in Math
Basic Arithmetic
- Addition (+): Combining numbers to get a total.
- Subtraction (-): Removing one number from another.
- Multiplication (×): Adding a number to itself a specified number of times.
- Division (÷): Splitting a number into equal parts.
Algebra
- Variables: Symbols (e.g., x, y) representing unknown values.
- Equations: Mathematical statements asserting equality (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Functions: Relationships between inputs and outputs (e.g., f(x) = x²).
Geometry
- Shapes: Basic forms such as triangles, squares, circles.
- Area: Space within a shape; e.g., A = length × width for rectangles.
- Perimeter: The distance around a shape; e.g., P = 2(length + width).
- Volume: Amount of space inside a 3D object; e.g., V = length × width × height for cubes.
Trigonometry
- Sine, Cosine, Tangent: Ratios in right triangles.
- Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (relationship between the sides of a right triangle).
Calculus
- Derivatives: Measure of how a function changes as its input changes.
- Integrals: The accumulation of quantities; area under a curve.
Statistics
- Mean: Average of a set of numbers.
- Median: Middle value in a sorted data set.
- Mode: Most frequently occurring number in a data set.
- Standard Deviation: Measure of data's spread from the mean.
Probability
- Event: A specific outcome or group of outcomes.
- Probability: Measure of the likelihood of an event occurring (0 to 1 scale).
- Independent Events: Outcomes that do not affect each other.
Mathematical Notation
- Symbols: Common symbols used in math (e.g., ∑ for summation, ∏ for product).
- Order of Operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (left to right), Addition/Subtraction (left to right) (PEMDAS).
Fundamental Principles
- Problem-solving: Ability to analyze and determine a solution process.
- Logical reasoning: Drawing conclusions from premises and known facts.
- Math in real life: Application of mathematical concepts in daily activities like budgeting, cooking, and construction.
Basic Arithmetic
- Addition combines numbers to find a total.
- Subtraction removes one number from another.
- Multiplication repeatedly adds a number to itself a specified number of times.
- Division separates a number into equal parts.
Algebra
- Variables are symbols representing unknown values (e.g., x, y).
- Equations are mathematical statements indicating equality (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Functions establish relationships between inputs and outputs (e.g., f(x) = x²).
Geometry
- Shapes are basic forms like triangles, squares, and circles.
- Area measures the space within a shape; for rectangles, it's calculated by length x width.
- Perimeter is the distance around a shape; for rectangles, it's calculated by 2(length + width).

- Standard Deviation measures how data is spread out from the mean.
Probability
- Event refers to a specific outcome or group of outcomes.
- Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
- Independent Events are outcomes that do not affect each other.
Mathematical Notation
- Symbols are commonly used in math (e.g., ∑ for summation, ∏ for product).
- Order of Operations follows a specific sequence: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (left to right), Addition/Subtraction (left to right) (PEMDAS).
Fundamental Principles
- Problem-solving involves analyzing situations and finding solutions.
- Logical Reasoning draws conclusions based on premises and facts.
- Math in Real Life applies mathematical concepts to everyday activities like budgeting, cooking, and construction.
