... The logarithmic function with base 10 is called the common logarithmic function and the function f(x) = log 10 x is usually expressed simply as f(x) = log x (the LOG button on calculators refers to the common log or log 10 x). Example: Consider some properties of the common log (pg. 407) and use the ...

... Uncountability of R Cantor’s Diabolical Diagonal If R were countable could list all numbers in (0,1) by a sequence: r1 , r2 , r3 , r4 , r5 , r6 , r7, … Cantor’s diabolical diagonalization creates a number “revil” between 0 and 1 which is not on the list, contradicting countability assumption. Let r ...

A note on a one-parameter family of Catalan
... We study a family of sequences of Catalan-like numbers based on the series reversion process. Properties of these sequences are derived, including continued fraction expansions, associated orthogonal polynomials and associated Aigner matrices, which turn out to be Riordan arrays. ...

Lesson 1
... As mentioned, we can use variables and algebraic expressions to describe certain quantitative relationships without information about their specific values. In a certain store, a cake costs 5 dollars. Let x be a variable that represents the number of cakes we plan to buy in that store. To calculate ...

Elementary mathematics
Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. The most basic topics in elementary mathematics are arithmetic and geometry. Beginning in the last decades of the 20th century, there has been an increased emphasis on problem solving. Elementary mathematics is used in everyday life in such activities as making change, cooking, buying and selling stock, and gambling. It is also an essential first step on the path to understanding science.In secondary school, the main topics in elementary mathematics are algebra and trigonometry. Calculus, even though it is often taught to advanced secondary school students, is usually considered college level mathematics.
