I am currently trying to put together a notebook containing all of the essential definitions and theorems that I have learned from alegebra, geometry, and calculus I up until now.

I am about to set out to flip through all of my texts, but first I thought I would ask: Does anyone happen to know of a list of essential theorems and defs.? If I could just find a nice list it would do wonders for my patience.

Any ideas would help; I'll get Googling:rolleyes:

What calculus are you in?

I'm sure wiki has a list of theorems and postulates for geometry. (Alternate interior angles theorem, for example)

Calculus I-II has a good few, and algebra has tons of properties and formulas.Heh, I think I'll do a list by myself. This is a neat idea.
 
I am in Calculus I. This is more work than I anticipated!
 
You may start by going through this list :smile:

Thanks CompuChip! That is a great start along with the appendices of my texts.

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
