Mathematics
The words “Mathematics” comes from the Greek, which means learning, study,
and additionally came to have the narrower and more technical meaning
“mathematical study”, even in Classical times. In Latin ars mathematica, meant the
mathematical art.
The apparent plural formin english, like the french plural form les
mathematiques ( and the less commonly used singular derivate la mathematique ),
goes back to the latin neuter plural mathematica, based on the greek plural (ta
mathematica), used by Aristotle, and meaning roughly “all things mathematical”.
The mathematician Benjamin Pierce called mathematics “that science that
draws necessary conclusions”. Albert Einstein, on the other hand, stated that “as far
as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are
certain, they do not refer to reality”.
Through the use of the abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved
from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systeThe word “ mathematics”
comes from the greek.
Today, mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many
fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences such
as economics and psychology.
Mathematics is the study of quantity, stucture, space, relation, change, and
various topics of pattern, form, and entity. Mathematicians seek out patterns and other
quantitative aspects of the entities they study, whether these entities are numbers,
spaces, natural sciences, computers, or abstract concepts. Mathematicians formulate
new conjectures and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen
axioms and definitions.

Why Is Math So Important to Learn?
Many kids ask their math teacher why learning a particular mathematical
concept or skill is important. When helping kids out with their homework, many
parents may wonder the same thing. Mark H. Karwan, the Dean of Engineering and
Applied Sciences at the University of Buffalo, points out that parental attitudes --
positive or negative -- can influence children’s attitudes about math, and ultimately
their performance. Encourage your child to excel in this area, as he’ll have increased
functioning and opportunities in his life and career as a result.

ALGEBRA
Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for
manipulating those symbols. In elementary algebra, those symbols (today written as
Latin and Greek letters) represent quantities without fixed values, known as variables.
Just as sentences describe relationships between specific words, in algebra, equations
describe relationships between variables. Take the following example:
I have two fields that total 1,800 square yards. Yields for each field are ⅔ gallon
of grain per square yard and ½ gallon per square yard. The first field gave 500
more gallons than the second. What are the areas of each field?
It's a popular notion that such problems were invented to torment students,
and this might not be far from the truth. This problem was almost certainly written to
help students understand mathematics — but what's special about it is it's nearly
4,000 years old! According to Jacques Sesiano in "An Introduction to the History of
Algebra" (AMS, 2009), this problem is based on a Babylonian clay tablet circa 1800
B.C. (VAT 8389, Museum of the Ancient Near East). Since these roots in ancient
Mesopotamia, algebra has been central to many advances in science, technology, and
civilization as a whole. The language of algebra has varied significantly across the
history of all civilizations to inherit it (including our own).

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can
mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as means to
your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why
we used songs in language learning.
Firstly, “ The song stuck in my head”, phenomenon ( the echoing your minds
of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping mall, etc) can be both
enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the
idea that song work on your shot and long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversation language, with a lot
of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. Although usually
simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and
can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage
harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools
in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism, and yes, even revolutions.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs,
such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating
songs, learning vocabulary and studying the culture.
Thus, from the elaboration above, it can be concluded that by learning through
music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable, and it is fun to learn English.

TRIGONOMETRY
Trigonometry (from Greek trigonon “triangle” + metron “measure”) is a
branch of mathematics that deals with triangles, particularly those plane triangles
in which one angle has 90 degrees (right triangles). Trigonometry deals with
relationship between the sides and the angles of triangles and with the
trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships. Trigonometry has
applications in both pure mathematics and in applied mathematics, where it is
essential in many branches of science and technology. It is usually taught in
secondary schools either as a separate course or as part of a precalculus course.
Trigonometry is informally called “trig””.
B
c a
A b C
b
In this right triangle: sin A= a/c ; cos A= b/c ; tan A= a/b.
If one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees and one of the other angles is
known, the third is thereby fixed, because the three angles of any triangle add
up to 180 degrees. The two acute angles therefore add up to 90 degrees; they
are complementary angles. The shape of the right triangle is completely
determined, up to similarity, by the angles. This means that once one of the
other angles is known, the ratios of the various sides are always the same
regardless of the overall size of the triangle. These ratios are given by the
following trigonometric functions of the known angle A, where a, b and c
refer to the lengths of sides.

China, the most populated country is also the most polluting country, as it releases 6,108
million tonnes of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Not far behind is USA, which is the largest
economy and also the 2nd most polluting country. It releases 5,833 million tonnes of GHGs.
Before 2007, it was USA which was the biggest polluter.
The next culprit of global warming is Russia which even though has less population of
141,950,000 compared to US and China, still releases considerable amount of CO2 - 1,704
million tonnes. India which has the 2nd largest population of 1,139 million releases 1,293
million tonnes of GHGs per annum and hence the 4th place.
Germany which releases 858 million tonnes gases per annum is ready to cut emission of
CO2 by 3% each year. On the other hand, Russia says it is all set to cut GHG emissions by
25% when others concur to make the same attempt.

Axes
39
Graphs have two axes, the lines that run across the bottom and up the side.
The line along the bottom is called the horizontal or x-axis, and the line up the
side is called the vertical or y-axis.
• The x-axis may contain categories or numbers. You read it from the bottom
left of the graph.
• The y-axis usually contains numbers, again starting from the bottom left of
the graph.
The numbers on the y-axis generally, but not always, start at 0 in the
bottom left of the graph, and move upwards. Usually the axes of a graph are
labelled to indicate the type of data they show.

A. Reading
There are hundreds of different constructions that find a special point inside a
triangle, satisfying some unit property: see the references section for a catalogue of
them. Often they are constructed by finding three lines associated in a symmetrical
way with the three sides (or vertices) and then proving that the three lines meet in a
single point: an important tool for proving the existence of these is Ceva’s theorem,
which gives a criterion for determining when three such lines are concurrent.
Similarly, lines associated with a triangle are often constructed by proving that three
symmetrically constructed points are collinear: here Menelaus’ theorem gives a
useful general criterion. In this section just a few of the most commonly-encountered
constructions are explained.
The circumcenter is the centre of a circle passing through the three vertices of
the triangle. A perpendicular bisector of a triangle is a straight line passing through
the midpoint of a side and being perpendicular to it, i.e. forming a right angle with it.
The three perpendicular bisectors meet in a single point, the triangle’s circumcenter,
this point is the centre of circumcircle, the passing through all three vertices. The
diameter of this circle can be found from the law of sines stated above.

3. Average Usually referring to the mean of a set of numbers.
The Sum of the given set of numbers divided by the
number of numbers
4. Chord A straight line with both endpoints on the
circumference of a circle
5. Denominators The number below the line in a fraction. The
denominator represents the number of equal pieces
the whole is broken into. Students need to be able to
perform operations with fractional denominators of
2,3,4,6,8,12 and 16
