Study Notes
Major Subdisciplines of Modern Mathematics
- Pure mathematics: focuses on the development of mathematical theories and models for their own sake
- Applied mathematics: uses mathematical theories and models to solve real-world problems
Proofs in Mathematics
- Consist of a series of logical statements based on axioms and previously proven results
- Intended to establish the truth of a mathematical statement or theorem
Mathematical Activity
- Primary method: deductive reasoning, using logical arguments to arrive at conclusions
- Involves formulating conjectures, testing hypotheses, and refining theories
Objects of Mathematical Study
- Numbers, geometric shapes, algebraic structures, and other mathematical objects
- Relations, functions, and transformations between these objects
- Properties, patterns, and structures of these objects
Nature of Mathematical Axioms
- Self-evident truths or fundamental principles that serve as the foundation of a mathematical theory
- Accepted as true without proof, serving as the basis for subsequent theorems and proofs
Roentgen
- Definition: a unit of measurement for the biological effect of ionizing radiation
- Measures the amount of ionizing radiation required to produce a certain biological effect
- Equivalent to 2.58 x 10^-4 Coulombs per kilogram of air
Applications of Roentgen
- Commonly used in radiation therapy and radiation protection in the field of medicine
