    Study Notes

    Proving Properties of Abstract Objects

    • The primary method used in mathematics to prove properties of abstract objects is through deductive reasoning from axioms.

    Benefits of Mathematics

    • Mathematics is applied in various areas, including natural sciences, engineering, economics, and social sciences, among others.

    Subdisciplines of Modern Mathematics

    • The major subdisciplines of modern mathematics include pure mathematics and applied mathematics.

    Fundamental Truths of Mathematics

    • The fundamental truths of mathematics are independent from human thought and opinion.

    Applied Mathematics

    • Applied mathematics includes areas such as physics, engineering, and computer science.

    Trigonometric Ratios

    • The sine of an acute angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

    Sine and Cosine Notation

    • The sine and cosine functions for an angle θ are denoted as sin(θ) and cos(θ).

    Modeling with Sine and Cosine

    • The sine and cosine functions are commonly used to model periodic phenomena, such as sound waves, light waves, and electrical signals.

    Extending Sine and Cosine Definitions

    • The definitions of sine and cosine can be extended to any real value using the unit circle.

    Functional Notation for Sine and Cosine

    • The sine and cosine functions can be written using functional notation as f(x) = sin(x) and f(x) = cos(x).
