Definition
Arithmetic
The science of computation by the use of numbers. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are the basic processes of arithmetic
Algebra
The study of relationships between numbers as they are represented by symbols. Its processes consist of multiplication, division, raising to a power, and extracting a root
Mechanics
is concerned with the effects of forces acting upon bodies in motion or at rest
Geometry
The branch of mathematics which deals with the measurements and relationships of lines and angles
Topology
The geometry of distorted geometric forms
Dynamics
a branch of mechanics that deals with the forces which produce motion or which change motion
Calculus
The system of mathematics used to figure the rate of change of a function. It includes other specialized methods of treating problems which utilize algebra
Differential calculus
The rate of change of a variable and is a means for finding tangents to curves
An axiom
or postulate, is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as a premise or starting point for further reasoning and arguments
Statistics
includes the collection of numerical facts, together with the processes of tabulation and interpretation. It is the science of reaching conclusions from materials that are variable and of predicting results in terms of probability
Mechanics
is concerned with the effects of forces acting upon bodies in motion or at rest
Theorem
a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements, such as other theorems, and generally accepted statements, such as axioms. A theorem is a logical consequence of the axioms
Descriptive geometry
is used to solve problems dealing with the space relationships of geometric forms which comprise an object
Plane geometry
is restricted to magnitudes of two dimensions in a single plane. It is concerned with polygons, triangles and circles that can be drawn with a ruler and compass
An irrational number
The square root of any number which is not a perfect square, that is the mth root of any number which is not a perfect mth power
