Study Notes
Mathematics
- Mathematics is a fundamental science dealing with logic, quantity, and arrangement.
- It encompasses various branches, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics.
- Arithmetic deals with basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of numbers.
- Algebra involves using symbols and variables to represent unknown quantities and solve equations.
- Geometry studies shapes, lines, angles, and their properties.
- Calculus deals with continuous change, including differentiation and integration.
- Statistics involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data.
- Mathematical concepts are used in various fields like physics, engineering, and computer science.
Science
- Science is an organized body of knowledge about the natural world.
- It involves observation, experimentation, and analysis to understand natural phenomena.
- Science is based on evidence and empirical data, and is a constantly evolving field.
- There are main branches categorized as:
-
Physical Science: Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy.
- Physics studies matter, energy, motion, and force.
- Chemistry studies the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter.
- Astronomy studies celestial objects, stars, and galaxies.
-
Life Science: Biology, including
- Botany (plants), Zoology (animals), Microbiology (microorganisms).
- These explore living organisms and their processes.
-
Physical Science: Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy.
- The scientific method is a systematic approach to problem-solving which follows these stages:
- Observation of a phenomenon.
- Formulation of a hypothesis.
- Design and conducting of experiments to test the hypothesis.
- Analysis of results and drawing conclusions.
- Scientific theories are well-substantiated explanations of some aspect of the natural world, based on a vast body of evidence. They are more than just guesses.
- Scientific laws describe how nature works, but they don't explain why or how it works. They are concise statements of observations or relationships between events.
- Scientists use tools and technologies to gather accurate and reliable data in their investigations.
- Scientific knowledge is constantly being revised and updated as new evidence emerges.
