    Study Notes

    Major Subdisciplines of Modern Mathematics

    • The major subdisciplines of modern mathematics are algebra, analysis, geometry, and number theory.

    Mathematical Activity

    • The primary method used in mathematical activity is proof.

    Mathematical Proofs

    • Mathematical proofs consist of a series of logical steps based on previously established statements, called axioms, and previously proved theorems.

    Mathematical Objects

    • Mathematical objects, such as numbers, geometric figures, and functions, are stipulated to have certain properties, which are then used to build mathematical theories.
