Study Notes
Key Concepts in Mathematics
1. Number Systems
- Natural Numbers: Counting numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, …)
- Whole Numbers: Natural numbers including 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, …)
- Integers: Whole numbers and their negatives (…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …)
- Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (a/b where a and b are integers, b ≠ 0)
- Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction (e.g., √2, π)
2. Basic Operations
- Addition (+): Combining numbers to get a sum.
- Subtraction (−): Finding the difference between numbers.
- Multiplication (×): Repeated addition of a number.
- Division (÷): Distributing a number into equal parts.
3. Algebra
- Variables: Symbols (e.g., x, y) used to represent unknown quantities.
- Expressions: Combinations of numbers, variables, and operations (e.g., 2x + 3).
- Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Functions: A relation that assigns exactly one output for each input (e.g., f(x) = x^2).
4. Geometry
- Points: Exact locations in space with no dimensions.
- Lines: Straight pathways extending in both directions with no endpoints.
- Angles: Formed by two rays with a common endpoint, measured in degrees.
-
Shapes:
- Triangles: Three sides (types include isosceles, equilateral, scalene).
- Quadrilaterals: Four sides (types include squares, rectangles, parallelograms).
- Circles: A round shape defined by its radius from the center.
5. Trigonometry
- Sine (sin): Ratio of opposite side to hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Cosine (cos): Ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse.
- Tangent (tan): Ratio of opposite side to adjacent side.
6. Calculus
- Limits: The value that a function approaches as the input approaches a point.
- Derivatives: Measure of how a function changes as its input changes (slope of the function).
- Integrals: Represent accumulated area under a curve.
7. Statistics
- Mean: Average of a set of numbers.
- Median: Middle value when numbers are ordered.
- Mode: Most frequently occurring number.
- Standard Deviation: Measure of data variability around the mean.
8. Probability
- Experiment: A situation involving chance or probability.
- Outcome: A possible result of an experiment.
- Event: A specific outcome or a set of outcomes.
- Probability: Measure from 0 to 1 indicating the likelihood of an event occurring.
Mathematical Concepts and Theories
- The Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).
- The Binomial Theorem: Describes the expansion of powers of binomials.
- Euler's Formula: Establishes the fundamental relationship between trigonometric functions and the exponential function.
Useful Formulas
- Area of rectangle: A = length × width
- Area of triangle: A = (base × height) / 2
- Circumference of circle: C = 2πr
- Volume of a sphere: V = (4/3)πr³
These notes cover foundational concepts in mathematics that are essential for further study and application across various mathematical disciplines.
Number Systems
- Natural Numbers: Represent counting numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...).
- Whole Numbers: Include 0 in addition to all natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Integers: Encompass whole numbers and their negative counterparts (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- Rational Numbers: Expressed as a fraction (a/b) where 'a' and 'b' are integers, and 'b' cannot be zero.
- Irrational Numbers: Cannot be written as a fraction. Examples include the square root of 2 (√2) and pi (π).
Basic Operations
- Addition (+): Combines numbers to find their sum.
- Subtraction (-): Determines the difference between two numbers.
- Multiplication (×): Represents repeated addition of a single number.
- Division (÷): Distributes a number into equal parts.
Algebra
- Variables: Symbols like 'x' or 'y' representing unknown quantities.
- Expressions: Combine numbers, variables, and operations (e.g., 2x + 3).
- Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).
- Functions: Relate inputs with unique outputs. For example, f(x) = x^2 assigns a square value to an input.
Geometry
- Points: Locations in space with no size or dimension.
- Lines: Straight paths extending infinitely in both directions.
- Angles: Formed by two rays with a shared endpoint. They are measured in degrees.

Shapes:
- Triangles: Have three sides and are classified into types like isosceles, equilateral, and scalene.
- Quadrilaterals: Have four sides and include shapes like squares, rectangles, and parallelograms.
- Circles: Round shapes defined by their radius from the center.
Trigonometry
- Sine (sin): In a right-angled triangle, it represents the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
- Cosine (cos): Ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Tangent (tan): Represents the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.

- Mode: The value that appears most frequently in a data set.
- Standard Deviation: Measures the spread or variability of data around the mean.
Probability
- Experiment: A situation with uncertain outcomes based on chance.
- Outcome: A possible result of an experiment.
- Event: A specific outcome or a group of outcomes from an experiment.
- Probability: A measure from 0 to 1 that indicates the likelihood of an event occurring.
Mathematical Concepts and Theories
- Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is represented as a² + b² = c².
