Lesson 4. Mathematics as a Language

Highlights

A. Describe the rhetoric of the mathematical language.

Learning mathematical concepts are proved to be difficult because the ideas


are introduced in a form of mathematical language. There is a process that
expresses the rhetoric of mathematical language. First, find the definition, this
may be a symbol or an expression to understand its meaning. Second, find out
its theorem, to know what and how the formula work. Lastly is to find proof, to
prove as evidence that your answer is correct.

B. What are the characteristics of the mathematical language? Enumerate and


describe each.
• Comprehensive – the mathematical language must be complete in all aspects.
• Concise – must be clear and short without unnecessary information.
• Precise – must have accurate and exact symbols to avoid confusion.
• Powerful – it is flexible and can associate and applied to every field.
• Non-temporal - The mathematical language has no tense of verbs.
C. What are the parts of speech of the mathematical language?
• Noun – the numbers that represent quantities.
• Pronoun – the variables, this may be letters or symbol that represent numbers.
• Verbs – symbols that are used for comparing and relating factors.
• Connectives – are operations that links numbers and symbols.
• Punctuations – are grouping symbols that gathers a group of numbers and
operations.
D. Give three examples of each of the following: (i) mathematical expression, (ii)
mathematical sentence

(i)

• 6+9
• 4x – 20y
• 2xy – 5y + 3

(ii)

• √9 = 1+2
• 4x + 2y = 10
• 3+5=8

Lesson 5. Sets, Relations and Functions

Highlights

A. What is a set?

A set is composed and a collection of objects. This may be in a form of


numbers, letters and symbols. There are two methods that can be described as sets,
the roster method and the set builder notation.

B. Let A and B be subsets of a universal set U. Give the theoretical definition of the
following:
1. Union of A and B – can be defined as the set that consists of all elements
belonging to either set A or set B (or both).
2. Intersection of A and B - can be defined as a new set containing common
elements of A and B.
3. Complement of A - can be defined as the difference between the universal set
and set A.
4. A – B – can be defined as reducing B to A to obtain the difference.
5. B – A – can be defined as reducing A to B to get the difference.
6. A x B – can be defined as multiplying A to B to get the product.

C. What is a function?

A function is one of the foundation of mathematical language, which is assigns


elements of one set to another as a rule. It has also a rule that a relation in which
not two ordered pairs have the same first elements to avoid errors.

D. What are the ways of writing a function?

A function has 4 ways of that can be written to:

1. Set Notation
2. Tabular form
3. Mapping form
4. Formula: y = f(x)

Lesson 6. Binary Operations

Highlights

A. What is a binary operation?

The use of mathematics is critical in understanding how quantities can be


combined to generate a new quantity. We utilize the binary operation to take two
input elements from a set that gives a unique result that also belongs to the same
set. In a binary operation, we categorized it into two things: the set, where the
operation is to be performed and the rule, by which the operation is carried out.

B. What are the properties of a binary operation? Enumerate and explain each.

1. Closure Property – in this property, the resulting value should still be in the
specified set when the binary operation is being executed.
2. Commutative Property – in this attribute, it assures that the binary
operation's value remains the same regardless of the sequence in which it is
done.
3. Associative Property – in this feature ensures that the value remains
constant regardless of the groupings used to perform the action.
4. Identity Property – There is an element 𝑒 ∈ 𝑆 (unique) such that 𝑒 ∗ 𝑎 = 𝑎 ∗
𝑒=𝑎
5. Inverse Element – For each 𝑎 ∈ 𝑆 we can find 𝑏 ∈ 𝑆 such that 𝑎 ∗ 𝑏 = 𝑏 ∗ 𝑎 =
𝑒
