Mathematics

An algebraic expression and a geometric picture can describe the same relationship. The courses put calculations beside their drawings, so you can check the working and see how changing a number affects the picture.

Introduction to sets

A set records which elements belong to it, regardless of order or repetition. Intervals and Venn diagrams show what union, intersection, difference and complement mean.

Introduction to function

A rule turns an input into an output. Calculations, tables and graphs give us different ways to describe that relationship.

The definition of derivative
Calculus

The definition of derivative

A curve can become steeper or flatter. We need a slope at each point, and a way to draw those slopes on another graph.

Matrix and linear transformation

The two columns of a matrix record where two basic directions go, determining what happens to the whole picture.

Matrix multiplication

One row and one column produce one entry. The individual multiplications and additions explain Ax, xA and AB.

Four fundamental subspaces

Some outputs of a matrix cannot be reached; others come from more than one input. These differences determine whether Ax = b has a solution, and whether it is unique.

Congruences

Finding a large number’s last digit need not mean calculating the whole number. Congruences keep track of remainders, showing which arithmetic operations are valid, when factors can be cancelled and whether an equation has integer solutions.

A first look at groups

A labelled square can keep its outline after a turn or reflection while its letters move. Recording these operations lets us compare their order, combine instructions and find ways to undo them.
