Study Notes

Module 1 - Mathematics

This module is part of a maintenance training program (Part-147).
Topics covered include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and more.

1.1 Arithmetic

Mathematics begins with arithmetic.
Arithmetic describes the properties of numbers and four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Natural numbers (N) are used for counting objects. They include zero and all non-negative integers.
Adding or multiplying natural numbers results in a natural number.
Subtraction can involve negative numbers, leading to the set of integers (Z).
Division can result in fractional numbers, forming the set of rational numbers (Q).

1.2 Algebra

Zero is the starting point for numbers, with positive values above zero and negative values below.
Algebraic expressions involve operations on relative numbers.
Calculating algebraic expressions follows specific order: brackets first, then multiplications and divisions, and finally additions and subtractions.
Adding numbers with the same sign involves ignoring the sign and summing the values, then adding the common sign to the result.
Adding numbers with different signs involves subtracting the values. The result takes the sign of the number with the biggest magnitude.
Multiplication of relative numbers follows the same rules as multiplication of generic numbers, adding the sign according to specific rules: Positive * Positive = Positive; Negative * Negative = Positive; Positive * Negative = Negative
Division of relative numbers follows the same sign rules as multiplication.

1.3 Geometry

Geometry deals with shapes and their relationships.
Angles, triangles, parallelograms (rectangles, rhombus,trapeziums), and circles are discussed.
The unit circle is introduced for trigonometry studies.

Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry

Various geometric figures are analysed.
Important calculations involving factors, multiples, and conversion factors are introduced.
The relations between the sides and angles of shapes, including triangles and parallelograms, are studied. Conversions of units are given.
There are different methods for calculating volumes and surface areas (areas and perimeters of polygons are discussed).
A table of conversion factors between the British and Metric system is provided.
The concept of angles and different methods of measuring angles is presented: sexagesimal, centesimal, and radian.
Basic trigonometric concepts (sine, cosine, tangent ) are introduced, along with their values for different angles.

Ratio and Proportion

Ratio is a way to compare numbers (A/B, with B ≠ 0).
Proportions are equivalent relations between ratios; these relationships are useful for simplifying calculations.
The product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes in a proportion.
Several properties of ratios are presented.

Powers

Power is a multiplication of the same number (n) by itself (n times), denoted by nⁿ.
Properties of powers, such as when a power is raised to an exponent, and multiplication/division of powers with the same base, are detailed.
Negative exponents (a⁻ⁿ) and fractional exponents (x/y) are explained.

Cubes and Square Roots

Cubes are raised to the third power (n³).
Roots and their function in extracting values are explained.
The concept of irrational numbers is introduced.

Linear Equations

Solving linear equations involves isolating the unknown variable and simplifying both sides of the equation using established algebraic principles.
Simultaneous equations are sets of equations with multiple unknowns, whose solutions can involve either substitution or elimination as a means for finding such a solution.

Second Degree Equations

Quadratic equations are algebraic equations of degree 2.
The properties of quadratic equations are explained.
Solving complete and incomplete quadratic equations is explored.
The quadratic formula used to solve quadratic equations is presented.

Binary and other applicable Numbering Systems

Binary notation uses two digits that represent number values (0 and 1).
Conversion of binary numbers to decimal numbers is shown.

Scientific Notation

Converting numbers into scientific notation.

Graphs of Equations/Functions

How to graphically represent equations and functions; different types of representations (including non-linear representations).
Finding the interception of a curve with the x or y axis is detailed.
How to calculate the equation of a line given two points is shown.
Relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines are introduced
Trigonometry is presented, with the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, tangent, and their relationships, along with specific values.

Simple Trigonometry

Basic trigonometric relationships such as sin²x + cos²x = 1 are introduced.
Trigonometric functions and their values.
