    Study Notes

    Fundamental Quantities in SI Units

    • Fundamental quantities are basic physical quantities in the International System of Units (SI) that cannot be derived from other quantities.
    • Examples include length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.

    SI Unit for Electric Current

    • The correct SI unit for measuring electric current is the ampere (A).
    • The ampere is defined as the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time.

    SI Unit for Temperature

    • The correct SI unit for measuring temperature is the kelvin (K).
    • The kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature and is one of the key quantities in thermodynamics.

    Mathematical Concepts: Rate of Change

    • The mathematical concept that deals with the rate of change of a function is calculus.
    • Specifically, derivatives in calculus provide a method to determine how a function changes as its input changes.

    Set of Integers

    • A set of numbers that includes both positive and negative whole numbers, as well as zero, is known as the set of integers.
    • This set is commonly denoted as ℤ, which includes {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.

    Mathematical Object: Matrix

    • A matrix represents a mathematical object consisting of a rectangular array of numbers or symbols.
    • Matrices are used for various applications, including solving systems of equations, transformations, and more in linear algebra.
