Study Notes
Trigonometry
- Definition: Study of relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
-
Key Functions:

- Cosine (cos): Adjacent / Hypotenuse
- Tangent (tan): Opposite / Adjacent
- Pythagorean Identity: sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1
-
Angle Measurement: Degrees and Radians
- 360 degrees = 2π radians
- Applications: Used in physics, engineering, and architecture.
Geometry
- Definition: Study of shapes, sizes, and properties of space.
-
Types of Shapes:
- 2D: Triangles, Circles, Quadrilaterals
- 3D: Cubes, Spheres, Cylinders
-
Formulas:
- Area of Triangle: 1/2 × base × height
- Area of Circle: πr²
- Volume of Cube: side³
-
Theorems:
- Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (in right triangles)
Algebra
- Definition: Branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.
-
Key Concepts:
- Variables: Symbols that represent numbers (e.g., x, y)
- Expressions: Combinations of variables and constants (e.g., 3x + 2)
- Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x = 8)
-
Tools:
- Factoring: Breaking down expressions into products
- Quadratic Formula: x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac)) / (2a) for ax² + bx + c = 0
Statistics
- Definition: Study of data collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization.
-
Key Measures:
- Mean: Average of a set of numbers
- Median: Middle value when data is sorted
- Mode: Most frequent value in a dataset
-
Data Types:
- Qualitative: Non-numeric data (categories)
- Quantitative: Numeric data (measurements)
- Distributions: Normal distribution (bell curve), binomial distribution.
Arithmetic Sequences
- Definition: A sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by adding a constant (common difference).
-
Formula:
- nth term: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
- a_1 = first term
- d = common difference
- nth term: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
- Sum of n terms: S_n = n/2 × (a_1 + a_n)
Probability
- Definition: Measure of the likelihood of an event occurring.
-
Basic Principles:
- Probability of an event A: P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total outcomes
-
Types:
- Independent Events: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)
- Dependent Events: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B|A)
- Compound Probability: Involves combinations (AND, OR) of events.
Trigonometry
- The study of relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
- Key trigonometric functions include Sine (sin), Cosine (cos), and Tangent (tan).
- The Pythagorean Identity is expressed as sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1.
- Angles can be measured in degrees or radians.
- 360 degrees is equivalent to 2π radians.
- Trigonometry has practical applications in physics, engineering, and architecture.
Geometry
- Involves the study of shapes, sizes, and properties of space.
- Two-dimensional (2D) shapes include triangles, circles, and quadrilaterals.
- Three-dimensional (3D) shapes include cubes, spheres, and cylinders.
- Key geometric formulas include the area of a triangle, the area of a circle, and the volume of a cube.
- The Pythagorean Theorem is applicable to right triangles and states that a² + b² = c² (where c is the hypotenuse).
Algebra
- Deals with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.
- Variables are symbols that represent numbers (e.g., x, y).
- Expressions are combinations of variables and constants (e.g., 3x + 2).
- Equations represent statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x = 8).

Statistics
- Involves the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.
- Key measures in statistics include mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value).
- Data can be categorized as qualitative (non-numeric, categories) and quantitative (numeric, measurements).
- Key distributions include the normal distribution (bell curve) and binomial distribution.
Arithmetic Sequences
- a sequence where each term after the first is found by adding a constant value called the common difference.
- The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the formula: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
- The sum of n terms in the sequence is calculated using the formula: S_n = n/2 × (a_1 + a_n).
Probability
- Measures the likelihood of an event happening.
- The probability of an event 'A' is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
- Probability concepts include independent events (P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)) and dependent events (P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B|A)).
- Compound probability involves combinations (AND, OR) of events.
