1. Union and Intersection of Sets
1. Let A and B be sets. The union of sets A and B, denoted by AB, is the set that contains those

2. Let A and B be sets. The intersection of sets A and B, denoted by AB , is the set containing
those elements in both A and B.

Title: Multiplication of Polynomials ( Polynomial by a Polynomial)
Rule in Multiplying Polynomial by a Polynomial:
Multiplication of two polynomials requires repeated application of the Distributive Property
Example 1. Multiply (4x 5)(x2 x 4)
Solution:
2 2 2 (4x 5)(x x 4) 4x(4x x 4) 5(x x 4)
3 2 2 (4x 4x 16x) (5x 5x 20)
3 2 4x x 11x 20
Example 2.Multiply 2 (x 2)(x x 3)
Solution:
2 2 2 (x 2)(x x 3) x(x x 3) 2(x x 3)
3 2 2 (x 2x 3x) (2x 2x 6)
3 2 x 3x 5x 6

Title of the Lesson:Degrees and Radians
Radian is the measure of a central angle of a circle whose rays subtend an arc on the circle
whose length is equal to the radius of the circle
Since the circumference of a circle is subtended by a central angle of 360 ,
it follows that

To summarize the conversions:
1. To convert radians to degrees, multiply the given number of radians by
180

Title of the Lesson: The Functions 휏 and 휎
Definition 6.1.Given a positive integer n , let 휏(n) denote the number of positive divisors
of n and 휎(n) denote the sum of these divisors
For example these notions , consider n=12. Since 12 has the positive divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
we find that
휏(12) = 6 and 휎(12) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 = 28
For the first few integers;
휏(1) = 1휏(2) = 2휏(3) = 2휏(4) = 3휏(5) = 2휏(6) = 4
and
휎(1) = 1 휎(2) = 3 휎(3) = 4 휎(4) = 7 휎(5) = 6 휎(6) = 12
It is not difficult to see that 휏(푛) = 2 if and only n is a prime number, also 휎(푛) = 푛 + 1
if and only if n is a prime.

Title of the Lesson: Properties of Determinants
The determinant has many properties. Some basic properties of determinants are:
1. whereIn is the n × n identity matrix.
2.
3.
4. For square matrices A and B of equal size,
5. for an n × n matrix.
6. If A is a triangular matrix, i.e. ai,j = 0 whenever i>j or, alternatively, whenever i<j, then its
determinant equals the product of the diagonal entries:
7. Angle and Its Parts
An angle is the figure formed by two rays or line segments, called the sides of the angle,
sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.
Consider the figure below:
The vertex of ∠퐴퐷퐶 is point D and its sides are ⃗퐷⃗⃗⃗퐴⃗ and ⃗퐷⃗⃗⃗퐶⃗ .
∠퐴퐷퐵 and ∠퐵퐷퐶 are called adjacent angles and their common side is ⃗퐷⃗⃗⃗⃗퐵⃗ .
