Mathematics
Concepts
Prepared by: Trisha Bujalance, Jazel Zoilo and Blademeir Java
 Mathematics 
o Math is a human language just like English
because it allows people to communicate with
each other.
o Math is everywhere.
o Math discipline us.
o We all need math.
 MATH TERMS FROM A - Z
Abacus
A (plural abaci or abacuses), also called a counting
frame, is a calculating tool. It has been used since
ancient times. It's an instrument for performing
calculations by sliding counters along rods or in
grooves.
 B
BODMAS
Or PEMDAS, An acronym used to help people
remember the correct order of operations for solving
algebraic equations. BODMAS stands for "Brackets,
Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and
Subtraction" and PEMDAS stands for "Parentheses,
Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and
Subtraction".
C Common Factors
A factor shared by two or
more numbers, common
factors are numbers that
divide exactly into two
different numbers.
 D DEGREE
The unit of an angle's
measure represented with the
symbol °.

A line is where two faces meet

in a three-dimensional
structure.

E
EDGE
FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

F
A sequence beginning with a 0
and 1 whereby each number is
the sum of the two numbers
preceding it. "0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34..." is a Fibonacci
sequence

G
GRAPH THEORY
A branch of
mathematics focused
on the properties of
graphs.
 H HYPERBOLA
A type of conic section or symmetrical open
curve. The hyperbola is the set of all points in
a plane, the difference of whose distance from
two fixed points in the plane is a positive
constant.

I
Irrational
A number that cannot be represented as
a decimal or fraction. A number like pi
is irrational because it contains an
infinite number of digits that keep
repeating. Many square roots are also
irrational numbers.
J
JOINT
a variation in which the values of one
VARIATION
variable depend upon those of 2 or more
variables.
K KNOT
is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile
per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h
(approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). A
knot is usually abbreviated kt.

LINEAR
 A linear polynomial is any polynomial defined by an
POLYNOMIAL
equation of the form p(x)=ax+b where a and b are real

L
numbers and a 6=0. Forexample, p(x)=3x 7and q(x)=13
4 x+. 5 3 are linear polynomials. A linear polynomial is
the same thing as a degree 1 polynomial.
 MATRI M
X array or
(plural matrices) is a rectangular
table of numbers, symbols, or
expressions, arranged in rows and

N
columns, which is used to represent a
mathematical object or a property of
NONCOLLINEAR such an object.
POINTS
When the points are
positioned in a place,

​
where there is no line then
it is termed as "Non
Collinear Points".
O OBLIQUE
PRISM
An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and
faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a
parallelepiped is an oblique prism of which the base is a
parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six faces
which are all parallelograms.

P PROBABILI
TY of mathematics concerning
is the branch
numerical descriptions of how likely an event
is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition
is true. The probability of an event is a number
between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0
indicates impossibility of the event and 1
indicates certainty.
Q QUADRILATERA
L
Quadrilaterals are four-sided, closed
polygons. Their sides can be of any
length, their angles either congruent or
not. The term \"quadrilateral\" is the

R
loosest possible classification of a four-
sided polygon.
RECIPROCAL
means that reciprocal
IDENTITIES any number is one
divided by the same number, for instance,
reciprocal of four (4) is 1/4. Moreover, we are
following the same way to find reciprocal
identities trig, on the other word, reciprocal
identities trig can be called Reciprocal
Trigonometry Identities.
S
SYMMETRY
Symmetry occurs not only in
geometry, but also in other
branches of mathematics.

T
Symmetry is a type of TREE
invariance: the property that a

operations or transformations.
U
UNIT
A standard quantity used in
measurement. Inches and
centimeters are units of
length, pounds and
kilograms are units of
weight, and square meters
and acres are units of area.

V
VOLUME
A unit of measure describing how much space a
substance occupies or the capacity of a container,
provided in cubic units.
WIDTH

W the measurement or extent of

something from side to side. X-INTERCEPT

X The x-intercept for any curve

is the value of x coordinate of
the point where the graph
cuts x-axis, or we can say that
x-intercept is the value of the
x coordinate of a point where
the value of y coordinate
equal to zero.
Y-INTERCEPT

Y The value of y where a line or curve

intersects the y-axis.

A zero slope line is a straight, perfectly flat

line running along the horizontal axis of a
Cartesian plane. The equation for a zero
ZERO SLOPE slope line is one where the X value may

Z
vary but the Y value will always be
constant. An equation for a zero slope line
will be y = b, where the line’s slope is 0
(m = 0).
