Study Notes
Mathematics and its Branches
Mathematics is often referred to as the language of science and reasoning. It has been around since ancient times, evolving from counting sheep and cattle to complex theories used by physicists and engineers today. Mathematics consists of four major branches—algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and trigonometry—which form the foundation of modern mathematics. Here's an overview of each branch:
Arithmetic
The word 'arithmetic' comes from Greek meaning "to compute." This branch deals with basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, etc., using numbers up to and including large integers. Algebra builds upon this understanding; it uses symbols and variables instead of specific numbers. A typical problem in arithmetic involves finding the sum, difference, product, quotient, or remainder when two or more values are combined according to certain rules.
Geometry
Geometry literally means earth measurement. It uses non-numerical elements such as points, lines, angles, planes, solids figures, and relationships between them. This field focuses on shapes, sizes, positions, directions, and other properties of objects in space. Modern geometers also study fractal patterns, symmetry models, chaos theory, and other aspects of mathematical beauty that go beyond Euclidean geometry.
Calculus
Calculus deals with continuous change. Its main focus lies in differentiating functions – determining their rate of change – as well as integrating functions to determine their total area under the curve. As a result, calculus allows us to model changes over time or find areas beneath curves, among many other things. Applications range from predicting population growth rates to maximizing profit margins in business.
Statistics
Statistics revolves around collecting data, organising it into meaningful information, and drawing conclusions based on these observations. For example, survey results may show half of all respondents prefer pizza while only one third choose burgers. Statisticians can interpret these findings statistically significant enough to make decisions about future marketing strategies.
These primary subjects have plenty of connections across disciplines, making them interrelated rather than independent entities. In subsequent sections we'll explore how they interact and build off one another to enhance our understanding of real world phenomena through theoretical constructs.
