    Study Notes

    Number Systems

    • Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ... (counting numbers)
    • Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (including zero)
    • Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (including negative numbers)
    • Rational Numbers: fractions, e.g. 3/4, 22/7
    • Irrational Numbers: non-repeating decimals, e.g. π, e
    • Real Numbers: all rational and irrational numbers

    Algebra

    • Variables: letters or symbols representing unknown values
    • Constants: numbers
    • Expressions: combinations of variables, constants, and operations
    • Equations: statements with equal signs, e.g. 2x + 3 = 5
    • Inequalities: statements with greater than, less than, or equal to signs

    Geometry

    • Points: locations in space, represented by coordinates (x, y)
    • Lines: sets of points extending infinitely in two directions
    • Rays: sets of points extending infinitely in one direction
    • Angles: formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint
    • Shapes: polygons, circles, triangles, etc.

    Calculus

    • Limits: the behavior of a function as the input approaches a certain value
    • Derivatives: rates of change of functions with respect to the input
    • Integrals: accumulation of rates of change over a given interval
    • Applications: optimization, physics, engineering, economics

    Statistics

    • Descriptive Statistics: summarizing and describing data
      • Mean: average value
      • Median: middle value
      • Mode: most frequent value
    • Inferential Statistics: making conclusions based on sample data
      • Hypothesis Testing: testing claims about a population
      • Confidence Intervals: estimating population parameters

    Other Topics

    • Probability: the study of chance and uncertainty
    • Graph Theory: the study of graphs and their properties
    • Trigonometry: the study of triangles and their relationships

    Number Systems

    • Natural numbers are counting numbers starting from 1
    • Whole numbers include 0 and all natural numbers
    • Integers include negative numbers, 0, and all positive whole numbers
    • Rational numbers are fractions that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers
    • Irrational numbers are non-repeating decimals that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers
    • Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers

    Algebra

    • Variables are letters or symbols that represent unknown values or quantities
    • Constants are numbers that do not change value
    • Expressions are combinations of variables, constants, and mathematical operations
    • Equations are statements with equal signs that express the equality of two expressions
    • Inequalities are statements with greater than, less than, or equal to signs that compare two expressions

    Geometry

    • Points are locations in space that can be represented by coordinates (x, y)
    • Lines are sets of points that extend infinitely in two directions
    • Rays are sets of points that extend infinitely in one direction
    • Angles are formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint called the vertex
    • Shapes include polygons, circles, triangles, and other geometric figures

    Calculus

    • Limits describe the behavior of a function as the input approaches a certain value
    • Derivatives measure the rate of change of a function with respect to its input
    • Integrals calculate the accumulation of rates of change over a given interval
    • Calculus has many applications in optimization, physics, engineering, and economics

    Statistics

    • Descriptive statistics summarize and describe data
    • Mean is the average value of a dataset
    • Median is the middle value of a dataset when it is arranged in order
    • Mode is the most frequent value in a dataset
    • Inferential statistics make conclusions about a population based on sample data
    • Hypothesis testing involves testing claims about a population
    • Confidence intervals estimate population parameters based on sample data

    Other Topics

    • Probability is the study of chance and uncertainty
    • Graph theory is the study of graphs and their properties
    • Trigonometry is the study of triangles and their relationships
