Two number lines that cross Between them, any location on the plane can be named with just two numbers. Plotting (x, y) So (4, 2) means 4 right, then 2 up. The four quadrants Numbered from the top-right, going counter-clockwise. A point sit
A set X together with a collection τ of subsets (the open sets) such that: (i) ∅, X ∈ τ; (ii) τ is closed under arbitrary unions; (iii) τ is closed under finite intersections. τ is called a topology on X.
Sets and membership A set is a collection of distinct objects, its elements. List them in braces; use ∈ to say something belongs. Set-builder notation describes a set by a rule rather than a list, which is essential once the set is large or
A term is a single number, a variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or − signs. In 5x + 3y − 7, the terms are 5x, 3y, and −7.
Same bottom number? Add the tops Equal denominators mean the pieces are already the same size, so you can just combine them. Different bottoms? Make them match first Different denominators mean different piece sizes. You can't add halves to
