Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the request for a comprehensive list of essential mathematical definitions and theorems from algebra, geometry, and calculus. Participants share their experiences and suggestions regarding compiling such a list.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses the desire to compile a notebook of essential definitions and theorems learned from algebra, geometry, and calculus.
  • Another participant inquires about the specific calculus course level the original poster is in.
  • Some participants suggest that resources like Wikipedia may have lists of theorems and postulates relevant to geometry.
  • A participant mentions the intention to create their own list of theorems and definitions as a response to the original request.
  • A later reply provides a link to a list, which is acknowledged as a helpful starting point by the original poster.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of having a list of essential theorems and definitions, but no consensus on a definitive source or list has been reached.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the completeness or accuracy of the suggested resources, and there may be varying definitions of what constitutes "essential" theorems and definitions.

Who May Find This Useful

Students in mathematics courses, educators seeking resources for teaching, and anyone interested in compiling mathematical references.

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.
