Fundamental Principles 1@tyno4u — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:02Okay, good evening.
- 0:04And welcome to the Math Minds channel.
- 0:08It's been a while
- 0:11and now to move on
- 0:14I would like to
- 0:17go through once again the fundamental
- 0:19principles
- 0:21of mathematics.
- 0:23This is mainly for those
- 0:25who
- 0:27find maths
- 0:29those common concepts
- 0:31the basics
- 0:33who find the basics
- 0:36overwhelming or
- 0:39difficult.
- 0:42I would like to begin from there and
- 0:45then we move on to other different
- 0:47topics.
- 0:48These videos will not be taking long.
- 0:51So, we will try to make them as
- 0:56snappy as they could ever be.
- 0:59So, we'll move on now to
- 1:02the fundamental principles
- 1:04of mathematics.
- 1:07Or the fundamental principles in
- 1:09mathematics.
- 1:12The fundamental principles.
- 1:30These are the principles that will
- 1:33help one
- 1:35to
- 1:38navigate
- 1:39some problems
- 1:41carefully
- 1:43and fear and
- 1:45without fear.
- 1:50They are those principles
- 1:53which
- 1:55are applied in
- 1:59simple calculations
- 2:01simple arithmetics
- 2:03and the concepts actually
- 2:05um involved in those arithmetics.
- 2:09And the first I will talk about
- 2:13is I will quickly go through the
- 2:17um
- 2:18numbers
- 2:20numbers then the the number line.
- 2:22And then we move on to the
- 2:25common
- 2:26problems
- 2:28uh associated with the
- 2:30numbers on the number line.
- 2:33Okay.
- 2:34So,
- 2:35the first thing we do here is
- 2:39numbers.
- 2:45The mathematician is not the only person
- 2:47who makes use of numbers.
- 2:50In our everyday lives, we use numbers to
- 2:53count. And that is one thing as one
- 2:57im- important
- 3:00one importance we put on numbers. We use
- 3:03them to count.
- 3:05And we don't come here and
- 3:08get all the characters of numbers, no.
- 3:10We just focus on what we have come to
- 3:12do.
- 3:14Talking about numbers, there are
- 3:15different ways to look at numbers.
- 3:18Different sets of numbers. We call them
- 3:20sets of numbers.
- 3:22So, numbers then we call them sets of
- 3:25numbers.
- 3:26So,
- 3:27in the sets,
- 3:29we have
- 3:32the
- 3:36We have two major sets of numbers.
- 3:47Okay.
- 3:49We have two major sets of numbers.
- 3:53Actually,
- 3:55I would want to start with
- 3:59what we call complex numbers.
- 4:10Just to know
- 4:11that this is a set of numbers
- 4:15comprising of all any other number.
- 4:19Any other number, uh I won't put
- 4:20anything here.
- 4:22I will rather come here and
- 4:28write the real numbers.
- 4:33The real numbers are large enough
- 4:36and they're not
- 4:37as complete as the complex numbers. The
- 4:40complex numbers are complete
- 4:43as the case may be.
- 4:44Maybe in in the future, maybe tomorrow,
- 4:47a new set of numbers could be
- 4:49identified. Right, but now, this is the
- 4:51most complete of all the other sets of
- 4:53numbers.
- 4:54After the real numbers,
- 4:56we have
- 4:58what we call
- 5:04the rational and irrational numbers.
- 5:09And we have the irrational.
- 5:16And here,
- 5:17we have the rational.
- 5:19What are they?
- 5:24Rational, irrational.
- 5:26Rational
- 5:28numbers could be expressed as fractions,
- 5:30A over B.
- 5:32Where A and B are integers. We'll meet
- 5:35integers.
- 5:363 over 2,
- 5:39minus 1 over 5,
- 5:41etc.
- 5:43Even whole numbers are rational numbers
- 5:45because
- 5:47the denominator there is one.
- 5:50Why irrational numbers can never be
- 5:52expressed
- 5:53in the in the form A over B.
- 5:56They can't be expressed in that form.
- 5:58For example, root two.
- 6:01No two
- 6:03integers
- 6:04will form a fraction which will be equal
- 6:06to to exactly what root two.
- 6:09But,
- 6:10A
- 6:11and so and so forth.
- 6:13So,
- 6:14um these are
- 6:17coming from the real numbers.
- 6:19And the real numbers also, under the
- 6:21real numbers,
- 6:23we also have
- 6:25Okay, um let me put that under the
- 6:30rational numbers. Under the rational
- 6:31numbers,
- 6:33we also have
- 6:34what we call
- 6:36the integers. Let me call the integers.
- 6:43Integers. The integers
- 6:46are represented by
- 6:47Z.
- 6:55The integers are represented by Z.
- 6:59Rational numbers are represented by Q.
- 7:00Irrational numbers are represented by Q
- 7:02prime.
- 7:04Um right now, those terms are not big
- 7:06for you since you are just beginning.
- 7:09For the integers, Z,
- 7:12these are
- 7:13whole numbers which could be negative or
- 7:15positive.
- 7:17They are whole numbers which could be
- 7:18negative or positive. So, for example,
- 7:22minus two,
- 7:24minus one, 10,
- 7:2715,
- 7:28etc.
- 7:30These are integers.
- 7:35And then,
- 7:36after the integers, we have
- 7:39what we call
- 7:42the natural
- 7:44I think we will
- 7:46stop it at that, the natural numbers.
- 7:51The natural numbers are just whole
- 7:53numbers
- 7:55and which are always positive.
- 7:58Okay?
- 7:58They're also called called counting
- 8:00numbers, 1 2 3
- 8:034 and so on and so forth.
- 8:06One thing with these numbers
- 8:09is that they're all
- 8:11infinite.
- 8:13There's no end to them.
- 8:14That's one property of of numbers you
- 8:17will have to learn.
- 8:19Numbers are infinite.
- 8:20So, why am I
- 8:22talking about these sets of numbers?
- 8:25I talk about them so as to
- 8:29help um
- 8:31let you know
- 8:33that
- 8:35such things
- 8:37numbers are classified in those ways,
- 8:39one
- 8:41and two.
- 8:47We'll start using them.
- 8:50So, after talking about numbers,
- 8:53I also have to talk about number lines.
- 8:57All these numbers can be
- 9:00represented on a number line, but
- 9:03we would just look at the natural
- 9:05numbers and the integers represented on
- 9:07the number lines. What is a number line?
- 9:10A number line
- 9:18is a line
- 9:22where numbers are put
- 9:24or could be
- 9:26found or placed.
- 9:28So,
- 9:30on the number line I want to talk about
- 9:34have the natural numbers and the
- 9:36integers on them.
- 9:38So, on this number line, we have zero,
- 9:41one,
- 9:43two,
- 9:44three,
- 9:46four, five, and so on.
- 9:49And also, so this is the number line for
- 9:51integers.
- 9:57First of all, you have to
- 9:59agree with me that zero is at the center
- 10:01of every number set.
- 10:04Good. And at the
- 10:07at both sides, at either sides of zero,
- 10:09you now have the negative and the
- 10:11positives,
- 10:13which all, when they combine, they all
- 10:15go back to zero, where all numbers come
- 10:17from.
- 10:19That's me saying that now. It's not
- 10:22So,
- 10:24the number lines are used
- 10:27to
- 10:29place numbers. We find numbers on the
- 10:32number line.
- 10:33And it's
- 10:35has
- 10:40a way of showing us how um
- 10:43calculations,
- 10:45arithmetics, are being done.
- 10:49First of all, you notice that from zero
- 10:51to the right,
- 10:54from zero to the right,
- 10:58numbers are increasing.
- 11:01The positive numbers are increasing.
- 11:05So, if you go from zero to the right,
- 11:07you're moving
- 11:11towards an increase on the
- 11:13on the positive numbers.
- 11:16If you move from zero to the left,
- 11:20actually, this is decreasing.
- 11:26And this is increasing.
- 11:29But you see,
- 11:31where we have minus four here,
- 11:34one may
- 11:36mistakenly think this is bigger than
- 11:38this. No.
- 11:39So, as you move towards the left,
- 11:41numbers generally decrease. And as you
- 11:43move towards the right, numbers
- 11:45generally increase.
- 11:47So, that should also help us
- 11:50to be able to do certain calculations
- 11:53involving
- 11:55small numbers, negative or positive.
- 11:58So, first of all, I would want to go
- 12:01through immediately through the
- 12:04the nitty-gritties of addition and
- 12:07subtraction
- 12:08of numbers on the number line. Addition
- 12:10and subtraction of numbers on the number
- 12:12line.
- 12:15Addition
- 12:17and subtraction
- 12:22of numbers.
- 12:29Okay.
- 12:30There are rules we
- 12:32we talked about in the previous video
- 12:35concerning the fundamental principles.
- 12:37Those rules, I will reinvoke them here
- 12:41to help us
- 12:42do what we have to do.
- 12:45First of all,
- 12:46number one.
- 12:54There is a kind of addition which
- 12:57will ask us to combine two or more
- 13:01numbers having the same sign. Actually,
- 13:03there are two signs in mathematics,
- 13:05the positive sign
- 13:09and the negative sign.
- 13:11Positive sign, we will have have plus.
- 13:14Negative sign, we will have minus.
- 13:17So, there the first rule will ask us to
- 13:20put
- 13:22positive and positive together or
- 13:24negative and negative together.
- 13:26So,
- 13:27that's the first rule we talked about.
- 13:28We said
- 13:30when two numbers
- 13:33have the same sign
- 13:36when two numbers have the same sign as
- 13:37in positive and positive or negative and
- 13:39negative
- 13:40then we just have to add the two numbers
- 13:43and give them the answer that sign.
- 13:45So,
- 13:46when two numbers
- 13:57have
- 13:59the same
- 14:02sign
- 14:05we add
- 14:08we add
- 14:09the numbers. For example,
- 14:14we have
- 14:15-15
- 14:199.
- 14:22I know how we have
- 14:24of course 13
- 14:26+6.
- 14:28Before we do this,
- 14:30always note that the sign comes before
- 14:33the number, always.
- 14:35So, the sign here we have -15. So, the
- 14:38negative What shows that this 15 is
- 14:40negative is this minus here, this one
- 14:42here.
- 14:43And what shows that this 9 is negative
- 14:45is this minus here.
- 14:47What shows that this 13 is positive is
- 14:50an invisible positive sign because it is
- 14:52coming first. So, we can either write a
- 14:55positive sign or we leave it out.
- 14:58But at the end of the day we know that
- 14:59there is a plus here.
- 15:02And what shows that this 6 is positive
- 15:04is this plus sign here.
- 15:07So, what is this rule telling us?
- 15:09Because these two numbers
- 15:11have the same sign, they are both
- 15:13negative.
- 15:15We add them together.
- 15:17When we add them together, we have
- 15:18something like this.
- 15:2015
- 15:21+ 9
- 15:25The answer will be negative because both
- 15:26of them are negative. Your answer will
- 15:28now be
- 15:30negative 24.
- 15:32That's how we will do this.
- 15:34Of course, we already know
- 15:36this is positive and you're adding
- 15:39them together.
- 15:42What do you have here? I have positive
- 15:44what? 19.
- 15:47So,
- 15:48it comes
- 15:50in this way in these ways, actually.
- 15:54The second one we talk about is
- 15:58when
- 16:01we are limiting ourselves to two numbers
- 16:04now.
- 16:05When two numbers
- 16:09have different signs.
- 16:16Have different signs.
- 16:18For example,
- 16:21Okay, we do what? Sorry, we subtract.
- 16:27For example,
- 16:31negative 15
- 16:33and positive 9.
- 16:3713
- 16:39and negative 6.
- 16:42Okay.
- 16:44So, let's see what this is.
- 16:4815 is negative and 9 is positive. So,
- 16:51the
- 16:52the rule says we subtract. So, we have
- 16:54to subtract.
- 16:58When we subtract,
- 17:02sign
- 17:05will be for bigger number.
- 17:13Okay, I will talk more on that.
- 17:15When we sub- we subtract between 15 and
- 17:17When we do that, we will have
- 17:20we subtract.
- 17:24We have
- 17:266.
- 17:29When we get 6, we now look
- 17:32at the numbers and find out the bigger
- 17:34the bigger one. What is the sign of the
- 17:36bigger number?
- 17:38The bigger one is 15. We don't have the
- 17:41sign, then the sign is what? Negative.
- 17:43That is how this is -6.
- 17:46These two
- 17:4913 - 6, this is positive, this is
- 17:52negative. We subtract again.
- 17:57When we subtract, we have 7.
- 18:00We check the sign of the bigger number.
- 18:03It's positive, so
- 18:06whether you write it or not, you know
- 18:07it's positive.
- 18:11Another thing we will have to
- 18:14um take note of is
- 18:19when we see stuff like
- 18:2513 - 6,
- 18:29we
- 18:30immediately should know that it's the
- 18:31same as -6 + 13.
- 18:36So,
- 18:37it's done the same way.
- 18:39The one that comes first
- 18:43doesn't actually matter
- 18:45in this regard.
- 18:47But, they must have their various signs.
- 18:50So, we can't write this as -13 + 6 or it
- 18:55will be a different thing altogether.
- 18:57So, this and this are the same.
- 19:00That's what we're trying to say.
- 19:03And because they are the same, they are
- 19:04also treated the same way.
- 19:06So, what we we we are talking about
- 19:08there was
- 19:10because they have different signs, we
- 19:11have to subtract.
- 19:15When we subtract,
- 19:17we have seven.
- 19:19We now go back and check the bigger
- 19:21number. 13 is a bigger number. We pick
- 19:24the sign of that bigger number.
- 19:26That's +7.
- 19:28Let's take another example.
- 19:33We have a
- 19:42+6
- 19:44-11
- 19:49These two numbers
- 19:52have different signs.
- 19:55And to deal with them, we have to
- 19:58subtract because they have different
- 19:59signs.
- 20:00So, when we subtract,
- 20:04we have five.
- 20:06What sign will it will it have? It's
- 20:08going to have the sign of the bigger
- 20:09number.
- 20:10So, the 11 is the bigger number and the
- 20:12sign is negative.
- 20:13So, we have negative five. All right,
- 20:15negative five.
- 20:18The number three, the third one we talk
- 20:20about is
- 20:22several numbers
- 20:28Several numbers
- 20:30with different signs.
- 20:40When you see several numbers having
- 20:41different signs and you have to add them
- 20:43together,
- 20:44what we we do is this.
- 20:48Select them, group them according to
- 20:50their signs.
- 20:51That's the first one.
- 20:55Group
- 20:59according to
- 21:02signs.
- 21:04And apply
- 21:07apply
- 21:09the two rules.
- 21:14I'm home.
- 21:17So, for example,
- 21:19look at this, -2
- 21:23+5
- 21:25-7
- 21:27+6
- 21:29-9
- 21:32+10.
- 21:35Look at this.
- 21:36We have um
- 21:39numbers
- 21:40having different signs.
- 21:42And we want to add all of them together.
- 21:44The first thing we do here is find out
- 21:47the ones that are negative. There are
- 21:48three of them.
- 21:50So, you group. First of all, group.
- 21:53When you group, you have -2
- 21:56-7, -9 being together.
- 22:00And
- 22:01uh again, these other ones having
- 22:04positive sign,
- 22:05positive five,
- 22:10positive six,
- 22:12and positive 10 also being together.
- 22:15So, here, we apply rule
- 22:21rule one.
- 22:24Rule one, the first rule.
- 22:26Rule one.
- 22:28Both they have the same sign, you add
- 22:29all of them together. This is negative
- 22:332 + 7 + 9.
- 22:36The answer will be negative. And then
- 22:37this is positive
- 22:395 + 6 + 10.
- 22:42What is your answer here?
- 22:44You have something like
- 22:46this is -18, -18.
- 22:51Negative sign. This one is
- 22:53+21.
- 22:56So, it has come back to
- 22:58us using rule two.
- 23:01In that rule be two, you subtract.
- 23:06When you subtract, we have
- 23:08three.
- 23:10Because 21 is the bigger number and its
- 23:12sign is plus.
- 23:14We have the answer as positive.
- 23:18So,
- 23:20um this is not all we talked about in
- 23:22the first video.
- 23:24But,
- 23:26we will
- 23:28talk about other things, too,
- 23:30which will lead up to
- 23:32the first topic we will treat here.
- 23:35But, before we go,
- 23:37I would like you to
- 23:41take note of these problems.
- 23:43I mean, solve
- 23:45these problems and see if
- 23:48you have understood what we talked
- 23:51about.
- 23:54Minus 13
- 23:57plus 65
- 24:01two
- 24:04five
- 24:05minus nine

- 25:13+ 6
- 25:15+ 7
- 25:20+
- 25:30Okay.
- 25:32So, um you can try this
- 25:35and
- 25:37send your feedback
- 25:39if you're having problems with them.
- 25:42See you in the next class.
- 25:46Thank you.
