Study Notes

Numbers

  • Types of numbers:
    • Natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Integers (...,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
    • Rational numbers (fractions, decimals)
    • Irrational numbers (π, e, ...)
    • Real numbers (all rational and irrational numbers)
    • Complex numbers (with imaginary parts)

Algebra

  • Variables and expressions:
    • Variables: letters or symbols representing unknown values
    • Expressions: combinations of variables, constants, and operations
  • Equations and inequalities:
    • Equations: statements with equal signs (=)
    • Inequalities: statements with greater than (>), less than (<), etc.
  • Functions:
    • Domain: set of input values
    • Range: set of output values
    • Notation: f(x) = ...

Geometry

  • Points, lines, and planes:
    • Points: locations in space (x, y, z coordinates)
    • Lines: sets of points extending infinitely in two directions
    • Planes: flat surfaces extending infinitely in all directions
  • Angles and measurements:
    • Degrees: units of angle measurement
    • Types of angles: acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex
  • Shapes and figures:
    • 2D: triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles
    • 3D: pyramids, prisms, spheres, cones, cylinders

Calculus

  • Limits:
    • Concept of approaching a value
    • Notation: lim x→a f(x) = ...
  • Derivatives:
    • Rate of change of a function
    • Notation: f'(x) = ...
  • Integrals:
    • Accumulation of a function
    • Notation: ∫f(x)dx = ...

Statistics and Probability

  • Data analysis:
    • Types of data: qualitative, quantitative
    • Measures of central tendency: mean, median, mode
    • Measures of variability: range, variance, standard deviation
  • Probability:
    • Events: outcomes of an experiment
    • Probability measures: 0 to 1, or 0% to 100%
    • Rules of probability: addition, multiplication, complement

Numbers

  • Natural numbers are a set of positive integers starting from 1, such as 1, 2, 3, and so on.
  • Whole numbers are a set of non-negative integers, including 0, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
  • Integers are a set of whole numbers and their negative counterparts, such as ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
  • Rational numbers are fractions or decimals that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, such as 3/4 or 0.5.
  • Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, such as π (pi) or e (Euler's number).
  • Real numbers are a set of all rational and irrational numbers, including decimal numbers.
  • Complex numbers are numbers that have both real and imaginary parts, such as 3 + 4i.

Algebra

  • Variables are letters or symbols used to represent unknown values or quantities.
  • Expressions are combinations of variables, constants, and mathematical operations, such as 2x + 5.
  • Equations are statements with equal signs (=), used to express the equality of two expressions, such as 2x + 5 = 11.
  • Inequalities are statements with greater than (>), less than (<), or other comparison operators, used to express a relationship between two expressions, such as 2x + 5 > 11.
