The Real Numbers
- 1) Natural Numbers
The history of numbers started with the set of natural numbers or counting numbers.- 2) Zero
Zero as a number came later and there are restrictions using it in mathematics.- 3) Negative Numbers
Negative numbers compared with positive numbers and the restrictions in using them.- 4) Integers
The set of integers include zero and all the negative and positive whole numbers.- 5) Rational Numbers
Rational numbers described as the ratio of two other numbers.- 6) Common Fractions
Fractions composed of a numerator over a denominator and the reciprocal reverses them.- 7) Decimal Fractions
Conversion to a decimal fraction creates an integer with a decimal point and a decimal part.- 8) Irrational Numbers Math Mysteries
Irrational numbers cannot be described as a ratio and they complete the set of real numbers.More Numbers
- 9) Absolute Value
The absolute value operation turns a positive or negative number to a positive number.- 10) Infinity Math Mysteries
Infinity and negative infinity are used in math to solve problems.- 11) Special Numbers Math Mysteries
Properties of special numbers such as pi, e and phi, used in the golden ratio, help understand math phenomena.- 12) Prime Numbers Math Mysteries
The prime numbers are not multiples of other numbers and combined they create all the composite numbers.- 13) Imaginary Numbers Math Mysteries
Imaginary numbers are used to solve problems and to create complex numbers.- 14) Systems of Numeration
Different systems of numeration are used in math and computers, including decimal, octal and binary systems.
Set Properties
- 1) Set Definition
Sets are defined by their of elements except the empty set that by definition has no elements.- 2) Universal Set
The universal set is all the answers to an equation and contains all proper subsets.- 3) Power Set
A power set contains all the possible subsets of another set and the empty set.- 4) Set Union
The set union is the combining of the set elements of two sets.- 5) Set Intersection
The set intersection is the sharing of elements of two sets that are not disjointed.- 6) Set Complement
The complement to a set is the difference between the set and the universal set.Set Identity Laws
Arithmetic Rules
- 1) Addition
Addition is the math operation for the summing of numbers and is shown as a plus sign.- 2) Subtraction
Subtraction is the math operation taking one number away from another and is shown as a minus sign.- 3) Multiplication
Multiplication is the math operation for taking one number times another and is shown as a multiplication sign.- 4) Division
Division is finding the ratio of two numbers, the dividend over the divisor and is shown as a division sign.Arithmetic Laws
Function Descriptions
- 1) Function Definition
A function is an equation whose variables can be mapped on coordinates, such as the Cartesian Plane.- 2) Function Notation
The notations used in writing math functions with two variables has a general form.- 3) Function Domain
The domain set of a math function is established by the equation.- 4) Function Range
The range set of a math function is established by the equation.- 5) Composite Functions
The composite function is one function that is a combination of two other functions.- 6) Inverse Functions
Inverse functions are two opposite functions that produce symmetric results.Function Examples
- 7) Linear Functions
The linear function is based on simple linear equations shown in a form using numeric constants.- 8) Power Functions
The power functions have a base number with an exponent, such as in square, square root and cube functions.- 9) Quadratic Functions
The quadratic functions use the general quadratic equation to solve for the quadratic roots of an equation.- 10) Logarithmic Functions
The logarithmic functions is the inverse to the exponential function and is related to the power functions.- 11) Exponential Functions Math Mysteries
The exponential function is the inverse to the natural logarithmic function and is related to the power functions.- 12) Factorial Functions Math Mysteries
The factorial function uses multiplication of the natural numbers to increase quickly.- 13) Limit Functions Math Mysteries
The limit function tests other function as the independent variable approaches a constant number.- 14) Summation Functions
The summation function checks the continuity of other functions over a range and can converge or diverge.- 15) Percentage Functions
The common percentage function is used to measure the size of the slice.
- 1) Geometry Basics
Basic shapes include points, lines, planes and solids shown on number lines or geometric spaces with origins.- 2) Geometry Rules
Five geometric rules are the foundation for geometry about straight lines, circles, right angles and parallel lines.- 3) Euclidean Geometry
In Euclidean geometry the slope of a straight line and its intercept point can be determined.- 4) Geometric Polygons
Polygons all have calculable areas include triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombi and squares.- 5) Conic Sections Math Mysteries
The curvilinear conic sections are circles, parabolas and hyperbolas with asymptotes, focal points and radii.- 6) Geometric Solids
Geometric solid shapes have a calculable volume and include cubes, pyramids, prisms, and spheres.- 7) Geometric Polyhedra Math Mysteries
Polyhedra can be regular or semi-regular, and include the parallelepiped, the tetrahedron and the hexahedron.
- 1) Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem looks at the angle, sides, and hypotenuse of a right triangle.- 2) Pythagorean Proof Math Mysteries
The proof of the Pythagorean Theorem can be done with specific examples.- 3) Pi Value Math Mysteries
The special number pi is used to find the circumference of a circle and to convert degrees to radians.- 4) Trigonometric Conventions
The conventions include using the unit circle where x is the adjacent side and y is the opposite side.- 5) Sine Function
The trigonometric sine and cosecant functions are used to evaluate angles.- 6) Cosine Function
The trigonometric cosine and secant functions are used to evaluate angles.- 7) Tangent Function
The trigonometric tangent and cotangent functions are used to evaluate angles.- 8) Trigonometry Laws
The trigonometric laws of identify, the law of sines and the law of cosines are used to solve a triangle.
