Chapter 1 · Arithmetic Refresher

A N I M AT I O N M AT H S

As this chapter offers all necessary mathematical skills for a full mastering of all further topics explained in this book, we strongly recommend it. To serve its purpose, the successive paragraphs below refresh some required aspects of mathematical language as used on the applied level.

1.1 Algebra Real Numbers We typeset the set of: natural numbers (unsigned integers) as N including zero, integer numbers as Z including zero, rational numbers as Q including zero, real numbers (floats) as R including zero.

All the above make a chain of subsets: N ⊂ Z ⊂ Q ⊂ R. To avoid possible confusion, we outline a brief glossary of mathematical terms. We recall that using the correct mathematical terms reflects a correct mathematical thinking. Putting down ideas in the correct words is of major importance for a profound insight.

Sets We recall writing all subsets in between braces, e.g. the empty set appears as {}.

We define a singleton as any subset containing only one element, e.g. {5} ⊂ N, as a subset of natural numbers.

We define a pair as any subset containing just two elements, e.g. {115, −4} ⊂ Z, as a subset of integers. In programming the boolean values true and false make up a pair {true, f alse} called the boolean set which we typeset as B. We define Z− = {. . . , −3, −2, −1} whenever we need negative integers only. We express symbolically that −1234 is an element of Z− by typesetting −1234 ∈ Z− .

We typeset the setminus operator to delete elements from a set by using a backslash, e.g. N \ {0} reading all natural numbers except zero, Q \ Z meaning all pure rational numbers after all integer values left out and R \ {0, 1} expressing all real numbers apart from zero and one.

We write the opposite of a real number r as −r, defined by the sum r + (−r) = 0. We typeset the reciprocal of a nonzero real number r as 1r or r−1 , defined by the product r · r−1 = 1.

We define subtraction as equivalent to adding the opposite: a − b = a + (−b). We define division as equivalent to multiplying with the reciprocal: a : b = a · b−1 .

When we mix operations we need to apply priority rules for them. There is a fixed priority list ‘PEMDAS’ in performing mixed operations in R that can easily be memorized by ‘Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally’.

First process all that is delimited in between Parentheses, then Exponentiate, then Multiply and Divide from left to right, finally Add and Subtract from left to right.

Now we discuss the distributive law ruling within R, which we define as threading a ‘superior’ operation over an ‘inferior’ operation.

Conclusively, distributing requires two different operations.

Hence we distribute exponentiating over multiplication as in (a ¡ b)3 = a3 ¡ b3 . Likewise rules multiplying over addition as in 3 ¡ (a + b) = 3 ¡ a + 3 ¡ b.

However we should never stumble on this ‘Stairway of Distributivity’ by going too fast: (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 , √ √ √ a + b = a + b,

x2 + y2 = x + y.

Fractions

A fraction is what we call any rational number written as nt given t, n ∈ Z and n = 0, wherein t is called the numerator and n the denominator. We define the reciprocal of a −1 . We define the opposite fraction as nonzero fraction nt as 1t = nt or as the power nt − nt =

−t n

t −n .

Powers We define a power as any real number written as gm , wherein g is called its base and m its exponent. The opposite of gm is simply −gm . The reciprocal of gm is g1m = g−m , given g = 0.

According to the exponent type we distinguish between: g3 = g ¡ g ¡ g

3 ∈ N,

1 g−3 = g13 = g¡g¡g 1 √ g 3 = 3 g = w ⇔ w3 = g

−3 ∈ Z, 1 3

g0 = 1

Whilst calculating powers we may have to: multiply

g = 0.

g3 ¡ g2 = g3+2 = g5 , g3 g2

= g3 ¡ g−2 = g3−2 = g1 , 2 exponentiate g3 = g3¡2 = g6 them. divide

We insist on avoiding typesetting radicals like 7 g3 and strongly recommend their contemporary notation using radicand g and exponent 37 , consequently exponentiating g to √ 3 1 g 7 . We recall the fact that all square roots are non-negative numbers, a = a 2 ∈ R+ for a ∈ R+ .

As well knowing the above exponent types as understanding the above rules to calculate them are inevitable to use powers successfully. We advise memorizing the integer squares running from 12 = 1, 22 = 4, . . ., up to 152 = 225, 162 = 256 and the integer cubes running from 13 = 1, 23 = 8, . . ., up to 73 = 343, 83 = 512 in order to easily recognize them.

Recall that the only way out of any power is exponentiating with its reciprocal exponent.

For this purpose we need to exponentiate both left hand side and right hand side of any given relation (see also paragraph 1.2). √ 7 Example: Find x when x3 = 5 by exponentiating this power.

3 7 7 3 3 x 7 = 5 �⇒ x 7 = (5) 3 �⇒ x ≈ 42.7494.

We emphasize the above strategy as the only successful one to free base x from its exponent, yielding its correct expression numerically approximated if we like to.

Example: Find x when x2 = 5 by exponentiating this power.

1 1 1 x2 = 5 �⇒ x2 2 = (5) 2 or − (5) 2 �⇒ x ≈ 2.23607 or − 2.23607.

We recall the above double solution whenever we free base x from an even exponent, yielding their correct expression as accurate as we like to.

Mathematical expressions Composed mathematical expressions can often seem intimidating or cause confusion.

To gain transparancy in them, we firstly recall indexed variables which we define as subscripted to count them: x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 , . . . , x99999 , x100000 , . . ., and α0 , α1 , α2 , α3 , α4 , . . . .

It is common practice in industrial research to use thousands of variables, so just picking unindexed characters would be insufficient. Taking our own alphabet as an example, it would only provide us with 26 characters.

We define finite expressions as composed of (mathematical) operations on objects (numbers, variables or structures). We can for instance analyze the expression (3a + x)4 by drawing its tree form. This example reveals a Power having exponent 4 and a subexpression in its base. The base itself yields a sum of the variable x Plus another subexpression.

This final subexpression shows the product 3 Times a.

Let us also evaluate this expression (3a + x)4 . Say a = 1, then we see our expression partly collaps to (3 + x)4 . If we on top of this assign x = 2, our expression then finally turns to the numerical value (3 + 2)4 = 54 = 625.

When we expand this power to its pure sum expression 81a4 + 108a3 x + 54a2 x2 + 12ax3 + x4 , we did nothing but reshape its pure product expression (3a + x)4 .

We warn that trying to solve this expression - which is not a relation - is completely in vain. Recall that inequalities, equations and systems of equations or inequalities are the only objects in the universe we can (try to) solve mathematically.

Relational operators We also refresh the use of correct terms for inequalities and equations.

We define an inequality as any variable expression comparing a left hand side to a right hand side by applying the ‘is-(strictly)-less-than’ or by applying the ‘is-(strictly)-greaterthan’ operator. For example, we can read (3a + x)4 (b + 4)(x + 3) containing variables a, x, b. Consequently we may solve such inequality for any of the unknown quantities a, x or b.

We define an equation as any variable expression comparing a left hand side to a right hand side by applying the ‘is-equal-to’ operator. For example (3a + x)4 = (b + 4)(x + 3) is an equation containing variables a, x, b. Consequently we also may solve equations for
