STRUCTURE OF MATHEMATICS
•TERMONOLOGY
•SYMBOLS OR NOTATIONS
•ALGORITHM
TERMINOLOGY
• The study of mathematics teachers various new definitions
• In order to provide identification to new definitions and concepts they are
given special names or terms.
• This forms terminology in mathematics:
• Various terms:
1. Angle
6. Cube
7. Even numbers
2. Area
8. Fraction
3. circumference of circle
9. Percentage
4. complementary angles 10. Probability
5. composite numbers
Use of Mathematical terminology is
indispensable as-
• Various definitions are interrelated
• Use of mathematics terms helps to express mathematical ideas
precisely.
• Use of common terms all over the world helps for the development of
the subject
• Terms of mathematics mostly express their meaning itself.
Notations or Symbols
• Notation is a system of symbolic representation of mathematical
objects and ideas.
• Used in physical science, engineering, economics and various other
branches.
• use symbols helps too express Mathematical statements in precise
manner.
• Most of the symbols are accepted universally like % for percentage, =
for equal
• Some notations are not permanently fixed like constant numbers
Algorithm in Mathematics
• An algorithm is a precise, step-by-step method or set of rules for
solving problems of a particular type.

• The most algorithm familiar is the elementary school procedure of

adding, subtracting, multiplication, division.
