    Study Notes

    Branches of Mathematics

    • Geometry involves the study of shapes and their properties, focusing on dimensions, sizes, and relative positions of figures in space.
    • Number Theory is the subdiscipline that deals with properties and relationships of numbers, particularly integers, and explores concepts like divisibility and prime numbers.

    Mathematical Proofs

    • The primary approach used in mathematics to establish the validity of statements about abstract objects is through rigorous proofs, which can include direct proof, indirect proof, and mathematical induction.

    Major Subdisciplines of Modern Mathematics

    • Major subdisciplines include:
      • Algebra: The study of symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.
      • Calculus: The study of change and motion, focused on limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.
      • Topology: The study of properties that remain unchanged under continuous transformations.
      • Statistics: The science of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting empirical data.

    Objects of Study in Modern Mathematics

    • The objects of study in modern mathematics include:
      • Numbers (integers, real numbers, complex numbers) and their properties.
      • Functions and their behaviors.
      • Geometric shapes and their properties.
      • Abstract structures such as groups, rings, fields, and spaces.
