Re: Higher Mathematics

1. Fundamentals

i) BODMAS Rule

The acronym BODMAS means

B : Brackets
O : Orders
D : Division
M : Multiplication
A : Addition
S : Subtraction

ii) Brackets

Brackets are used for grouping of things or entities. The various types of Brackets are

a) '_' is known as line (or bar) bracket or vinculum
b) () is known as Parenthesis, common bracket or small bracket
c) {} is known as curly bracket, brace or middle bracket
d) [] or big bracket (i.e., rectangular bracket)

The order of eliminating is
i) line bracket
ii) small bracket  (i.e., common bracket)
iii) middle bracket (i.e., curly bracket)
iv) big bracket (i.e., rectangular bracket)

Illustration : Calculate

See: Order of Operations

Re: Higher Mathematics

iii) Factorial

The product of n consecutive natural numbers (or positive integers) from 1 to n is called the factorial n. Factorial n is denoted by n!.

n! = 1 x 2 x 3 x .... x (n - 2) x (n - 1) x n
6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720
5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120
4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6
2! = 2 x 1 = 2
1! = 1
0! = 1

iv) Roman Numbers

In this system, there are basically seven symbols used to represent the whole Roman Number system. The sysbols and their respected values are given below:

I - 1,
V - 5,
X - 10,
L - 50,
C - 100,
D - 500,
M - 1000.

In general, the symbols in the numeral system read from left to right, starting with the symbol representing the largest value; the same number cannot occur continuously more that three times; the largest value of the numeral is the sum of the values of the symbols.

For example, LXVII = 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 67.
MCDLXIV = 1000 + (500 - 100) + 50 + 10 + (5 - 1) = 1000 + 400 + 60 + 4 = 1464.

Re: Higher Mathematics

Termination decimals, recurring decimals, and Irrational numbers

A terminating decimal is like 0.25, 0.65, 0.775 etc, 

A recurring decimal is like 0.16666....., 0.3333....., 0.66666.... etc.

An irrational number is neither terminating nor recurring. For example square root of 2, square root of 3 etc.
