Study Notes

Subdisciplines of Modern Mathematics

  • Modern mathematics is divided into several major subdisciplines, including:
    • Pure mathematics, which focuses on the study of mathematical structures and theories for their own sake
    • Applied mathematics, which uses mathematical techniques to solve problems in various fields, such as physics, biology, and economics
    • Computational mathematics, which deals with the development of algorithms and computational methods for solving mathematical problems
    • Discrete mathematics, which studies mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete, such as graphs, integers, and statements in logic

Method of Mathematical Proofs

  • The primary method used in mathematical proofs is deductive reasoning, which involves using logical arguments to establish the truth of a mathematical statement

Mathematical Objects

  • Mathematical objects in modern mathematics consist of:
    • Sets, which are collections of objects, known as elements or members, that can be anything (numbers, points, functions, etc.)
    • Relations, which are ways in which elements of a set can be connected or related to each other
    • Structures, which are systems of rules and operations that define how elements of a set can be combined or transformed

Mathematical Activity

  • The main characteristic of mathematical activity is the pursuit of certainty and precision through the use of logical reasoning and rigorous proof

Mathematical Proofs

  • A proof in mathematics is a logical and systematic argument that establishes the truth of a mathematical statement, using a series of logical steps based on previously established truths and axioms
