Recap of Mathematical Notation and Terminology
Our tour of math concepts will start properly in Chapter 2. Before we begin that tour, we’ll start by recapping some mathematical notation and terminology. Mathematics is a language, and mathematical symbols and notation are its alphabet. Therefore, we must be comfortable with and understand the basics of this alphabet.
In this chapter, we will recap the most common core notation and terminology that we are likely to use repeatedly throughout the book. We have grouped the recap into six main math areas or topics. Those topics are as follows:
- Number systems: In this section, we introduce notation for real and complex numbers
- Linear algebra: In this section, we introduce notation for describing ...
