Description
This is an indispensable A-Z guide to the key terms in Mathematics. Each entry begins with a clear, one-sentence definition and is followed by explanation and examples. The more important the term, the more detailed the entry to help answer examination questions. All entries are carefully cross-referenced and the A-Z format makes it very easy to use. The Schaum’s A-Zs are designed to be valuable at every stage of a course: – definitions and explanations will help new students break through the barrier of jargon – the carefully developed explanation of key concepts will strengthen projects and provide clearly written reference to supplement classwork -contains review lists (see below) of the key concepts (with individual entries listed) to help build exam student’s grasp of terminology and theory. In addition, helpful appendices explain common examination terms. This reference is intended as a complement to course textbooks and to test preparation guides in Mathematics and Mechanics, such as the 5 Steps to a 5 AP Guides and Schaum’s Outline titles that provide broad introductions appropriate for first year college. Key concepts covered in Schaum’s A-Z Mathematics: Pure Mathematics: polynomials, equations, number, geometry, logarithms and exponentials, vectors, algebra, graphs and curves, functions, numerical methods, trigonometry, differentiation, integration, sequences and series, proof; Mechanics: modeling in mechanics, vectors in mechanics, kinematics, momentum and collisions, circular motion, oscillations, force, dynamics, statics, work and energy Statistics: data types, statistical diagrams and tables, statistical measures, probability, correlation and regression, probability distributions, sampling, hypothesis tests
