Key Technical Mathematics Topics And Concepts

It’s time to go deeper into the important issues and concepts now that we have looked at the course overview. Mathematical functions, vectors, matrices, calculus derivatives, trigonometric functions, and probability distributions are all covered in this section.

Equations or formulas used to illustrate relationships between two or more variables are known as mathematical functions. These can be polynomial, polylinear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic. They can be used to solve practical issues like figuring out population increase over time or figuring out how fast an object is moving when its velocity is changing.

Mathematical objects with both magnitude (size) and direction are called vectors, whereas matrices are the opposite. They can assist us in describing physical quantities that need direction, like force or acceleration. We may quickly and effectively solve systems of equations by using matrices, which are 2D arrays of numbers arranged in rows and columns.

Calculus Derivatives: When referring to a function’s rate of change with regard to one variable while holding all other variables constant, we are referring to its calculus derivative. By evaluating the derivative of the equation corresponding to that line on a graph, we can learn more about the slope of that line. We can calculate the volumes encircled by surfaces and the areas under curves thanks to differentiation.

Trigonometric Functions: Using the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios generated from right angled triangles, trigonometry is the study of angles and triangles. They are widely used in physics applications like projectile motion, determining the forces exerted by gravity on an object, etc.

Probability Densities: Probability densities deal with the probabilities for random events occurring within a specified range. For example, rolling dice produces various possible outcomes, each of which has a probability attached to it known as “probability density,” which describes how likely something is to occur. For example, what are the odds of rolling the dice once? When using the normal distribution, data tends to form a bell-shaped curve around the mean value rather than being dispersed randomly over the x-axis values.

In summary, these five areas together offer the thorough coverage grade 12 technical mathematics students in South Africa need to successfully apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings!
