Study Notes
- These notes connect math concepts to pop culture references for easier memorization.
Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
- PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
- PEMDAS follows a specific sequence to determine the correct order of operations.
- Wrong order in PEMDAS leads to incorrect answers.
- This is similar to Doctor Strange analyzing battle outcomes in "Avengers: Infinity War".
Area and Perimeter
- Rectangle Area: A = L × W
- Triangle Area: A = ½ × B × H
- Perimeter of Rectangle: P = 2(L + W)
- Perimeter of Triangle: P = a + b + c
- Designing the Marauder’s Map requires calculating the area and perimeter of Hogwarts rooms from "Harry Potter".
Fractions
- Numerator: Represents the number of parts.
- Denominator: Represents the total number of equal parts.
- Michelangelo from the Ninja Turtles divides pizza, needing to split the fractions correctly.
Types of Angles
- Acute Angle: Less than 90°, small, like Spider-Man crouching.
- Right Angle: 90°, perfectly square, like a building corner.
- Obtuse Angle: Greater than 90°, wide, like Spider-Man swinging.
- Straight Angle: 180°, completely flat, like a tightrope.
- Spider-Man's web forms different angles when he swings through New York.
Types of Triangles
- Equilateral: 3 equal sides, balanced like the Triforce.
- Isosceles: 2 equal sides, like the Master Sword’s blade.
- Scalene: No equal sides, like the uneven mountains Link climbs.
- Examples are from "The Legend of Zelda".
Multiplication Facts
- 5s Table: Answers end in 0 or 5.
- 9s Table: Digits add up to 9.
- 7 × 8 = 56: Think of combining "Fast 7" and "Fast 8".
- Multiplication boosts numbers fast, similar to nitrous in "The Fast & Furious".
Decimals
-
- 1 (One-Tenth): Like zooming in 10% on Tony Stark’s suit display.
-
- 01 (One-Hundredth): Precise targeting for repulsors.
-
- 001 (One-Thousandth): Micro-adjustments in flight controls.
- Decimals zoom in, similar to Iron Man's HUD ("Heads-Up Display").
Volume
- Volume of Cube: V = s³ (side × side × side)
- Volume of Rectangular Prism: V = L × W × H
- In Minecraft, blocks are cubes, chests are rectangular prisms, and both involve volume.
Mean, Median, Mode
- Mean: Average, add all values and divide by total numbers.
- Median: Middle value, put numbers in order.
- Mode: Most common number.
- In "The Voice", the mean, median and mode relate to contestant scores.
Probability
- Probability = Favorable Outcomes / Total Outcomes
- Han Solo plays Sabacc, a dice-based game, in Solo: A Star Wars Story that can be used to calculate probability
- Captain Jack Sparrow calculates the odds in dice and coin flips and compass directions from "Pirates of the Caribbean."
- Understanding probability helps predict chances of success
Telling Time
- Hour Hand: Slow-moving, like Doc Brown explaining science.
- Minute Hand: Faster-moving, like the DeLorean traveling through time.
- Second Hand: Lightning-fast, like the DeLorean hitting 88 mph.
- Accurate timing is important in "Back to the Future."
Speed, Distance, and Time
- Speed = Distance ÷ Time
- Distance = Speed × Time
- Time = Distance ÷ Speed
- The Flash races across Central City and can be used to calculate speed, distance, and time.
- Miscalculations could mess up the timeline.
Pythagorean Theorem
- a² + b² = c² (For right triangles)
- Luke Skywalker flies his X-Wing down the Death Star trench to fire using this theorem.
- Finding the hypotenuse is the shortest path in a right triangle.
Circumference & Area of a Circle
- Circumference = 2πr
- Area = πr²
- The T. rex enclosure fence in Jurassic Park is circular, useful for calculations.
Exponents
- Exponent Notation: aⁿ (a multiplied by itself n times)
- Example: 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
- Doctor Strange traps Dormammu in a time loop, repeating events, which is similar to exponents.
Slope & Linear Equations
- Slope (m) = Rise ÷ Run
- Equation of a Line: y = mx + b
- Batman uses a grappling hook to climb, with slope representing climb rate.
Advanced Probability
- P(A) = Favorable Outcomes / Total Outcomes
- P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B) (for independent events)
- In The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta have a small probability of being chosen
Geometry (3D Shapes)
- Volume of Cylinder: V = πr²h
- Volume of Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³

Absolute Value
- |x| = Distance from Zero
- Elsa’s ice castle and Arendelle height difference is calculated using absolute value in "Frozen".
Logarithms
- logₐ(x) = y means aʸ = x
- In Jumanji: The Next Level, exponential difficulty increases per level.
Quadratic Formula
- x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
- Tony Stark navigates the Quantum Realm by solving time travel equations, similar to the Avengers in "Endgame".
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
- F = ma (Force = Mass × Acceleration)
- Spider-Man's acceleration due to gravity, relates to this law when he swings across NYC.
Fibonacci Sequence
- F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)
- Golden Ratio ≈ 1.618
- The Fibonacci Sequence is in "The Da Vinci Code" and nature.
Mean, Median, Mode (Again)
- Mean = (Sum of Values) ÷ (Total Values)
- Median = Middle Value
- Mode = Most Frequent Value
