Study Notes
Numbers
- Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ... (positive integers)
- Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (non-negative integers)
- Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (all whole numbers and their negatives)
- Rational Numbers: fractions, e.g. 1/2, 3/4, 22/7 (can be expressed as a finite decimal)
- Irrational Numbers: non-repeating decimals, e.g. π, e, sqrt(2)
- Real Numbers: all rational and irrational numbers
Operations
- Addition: combining two or more numbers to get a total or a sum
- Subtraction: finding the difference between two numbers
- Multiplication: repeated addition, e.g. 3 × 4 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
- Division: sharing a quantity into equal parts, e.g. 12 ÷ 3 = 4
- Exponents: shorthand for repeated multiplication, e.g. 2^3 = 2 × 2 × 2
- Order of Operations: PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction)
Algebra
- Variables: letters or symbols that represent unknown values
- Constants: numbers that do not change value
- Equations: statements that two expressions are equal, e.g. 2x + 3 = 5
- Inequalities: statements that one expression is greater than, less than, or equal to another
- Functions: relations between variables, e.g. f(x) = 2x + 1
Geometry
- Points: locations in space, represented by coordinates (x, y)
- Lines: sets of points that extend infinitely in two directions
- Rays: lines that extend infinitely in one direction from a point
- Angles: formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint
- Shapes: geometric figures, e.g. triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles
Measurement
- Units: standard quantities used to measure length, area, volume, etc.
- Conversion: changing between different units, e.g. inches to feet
- Ratios: comparisons of quantities, e.g. 2:3 or 3/4
- Percentages: ratios expressed as a fraction of 100, e.g. 25%
Data Analysis
- Data: collections of information
- Graphs: visual representations of data, e.g. bar graphs, line graphs, histograms
- Charts: tables or diagrams used to organize and display data
- Statistics: methods for analyzing and summarizing data, e.g. mean, median, mode
