1. NMEROS NATURALES
Los nmeros naturales son los que utilizamos para contar las cosas. Su smbolo
matemtico es . Son el 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
- Operaciones con nmeros:
Multiplicar: es sumar muchas veces el mismo nmero. Para escribir una multiplicacin
usaremos un punto en vez de una cruz x. Por ejemplo: 2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 2 7 = 14. En
este caso, los factores son 2 y 7, y su producto 14.
Dividir: se usa siempre que hay que repartir en partes iguales. Recuerda que
dividendo es igual a divisor por cociente ms resto.
Potencia: es multiplicar muchas veces el mismo nmero. Ejemplo: 2 2 2 2 2 = 2
5
= 32.
Aqu, la base es 2 y el exponente 5.
Raz cuadrada: hay que encontrar un nmero que al cuadrado sea el radicando (el nmero
del que queremos sacar la raz). Por ejemplo, , porque 3
2
= 9.
Orden: Usamos los smbolos < y > . Diremos que 3 < 5 y que 10 > 2 .

Cuadrado perfecto: llamamos as a los nmeros naturales al cuadrado. Por ejemplo, 2
2
=4,
3
2
=9, 4
2
=16, 5
2
=25, 6
2
=36, 7
2
=49, 8
2
=64, 9
2
=81, etc.
Ejercicio: Calcula y memoriza los siguientes cuadrados perfectos.

2
= 12
2
= 13
2
= 14
2
= 15
2
= 25
2
=
Ejercicio: Calcula las races:

- Orden de las operaciones (jerarqua de las operaciones):
No siempre se hacen las cuentas de izquierda a derecha. Tenemos que hacerlo en este orden:

1) Parntesis.
2) Potencias y races.
3) Multiplicaciones y divisiones
4) Sumas y restas.

- Propiedades de la suma
Conmutativa: Podemos sumar en cualquier orden. Por ejemplo: 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 = 8.
Asociativa: al sumar varios nmeros, podemos agruparlos como queramos.
Ejemplo: 3+5+2 = (3+5)+2 = 3+(5+2) = 10.
Elemento neutro: Al sumar 0 a un nmero, se obtiene el mismo nmero.

- Propiedades de la multiplicacin
Conmutativa: Podemos multiplicar en cualquier orden; el orden de los factores no altera el
producto. Por ejemplo: 3 5 = 5 3 = 15.
Asociativa: al multiplicar varios nmeros, podemos agruparlos como queramos. Por
ejemplo: 3 5 2 = (3 5) 2 = 3 (5 2) = 30.
Elemento neutro: Al multiplicar un nmero por 1, se obtiene el mismo nmero.
Distributiva: Al multiplicar un nmero por una suma, podemos multiplicar primero cada
sumando. Por ejemplo: 2 (3 + 4) = 2 3 + 2 4 = 6 + 8 = 14.

- Propiedades de las potencias
Producto de potencias:
- Misma base: se deja la base y se suman los exponentes. Ejemplo: 3
2
3
4
=3
2+4
=3
6
.
- Mismos exponentes: se multiplican las bases y se deja el exponente. Ejemplo: 2
3
5
3
=10
3
.
Cociente de potencias: (es casi lo mismo)
- Misma base: se deja la base y se restan los exponentes. Ejemplo: 3
6
3
4
=3
6-4
=3
2
.
- Mismos exponentes: se dividen las bases y se deja el exponente. Ejemplo: 10
3
:5
3
=2
3
.
Potencia de potencia: se multiplican los exponentes. Ejemplo: (10
2
)
3
=10
6
y ((10
2
)
3
)
5
=10
30
.
Exponente 0: el resultado es 1. Ejemplo: 23
0
=1, 3
0
=1.
Exponente 1: se deja solo la base. Ejemplo: 23
1
=23 y 3
1
=3.

NATURAL NUMBERS
Natural numbers are those we use for counting things. Their mathematical symbol is .
They are 1, 2, 3, 4, If we include number 0, they are called whole numbers.
- Operations with numbers:
Multiplication: it is the result of the repeated addition of the same number. For writing a
multiplication we shall use a dot instead of a cross x. For instance: 2+2+2+2+2+2+2 =
2 7 = 14. In this case, factors are 2 and 7, and their product 14.
Division: it is used any time that distributing in equal parts is needed. Remember that:
dividend equals divisor times quotient plus remainder.
Exponentiation: is the result of the repeated multiplication of the same number. For
instance: 2 2 2 2 2 = 2
5
= 32. Here, the base is 2 and the exponent 5. (it can be read as 2
raised to the 5
th
power, or 2 to the 5, or 2 raised to the exponent [of] 5)
Square root: it is to find a number such that squared equals to the radicand (the number
we want to take the root). For instance, , since 3
2
= 9.
Order: We will use symbols < and > .
We shall say that 3 < 5 (3 is less than 5) and 10 > 2 (10 is greater than 2).

Perfect square: Any natural number that is the square of another one. For instance, 2
2
=4,
3
2
=9, 4
2
=16, 5
2
=25, 6
2
=36, 7
2
=49, 8
2
=64, 9
2
=81, etc.
Exercise: calculate and memorize the following perfect squares.
11
2
= 12
2
= 13
2
= 14
2
= 15
2
= 25
2
=
Exercise: calculate roots:

- Order of operations (precedence rules):
Accounts are not always performed from the left side to the right. We must follow this order:

1) Parentheses (brackets).
2) Exponents and roots.
3) Multiplication and divisions
4) Addition and subtraction.

6
- Addition properties
Commutative: The order in which two numbers are added does not matter. For instance:
3 + 5 = 5 + 3 = 8.
Associative: when adding several numbers, the order in which additions are performed does
not matter. Example: 3+5+2=(3+5)+2=3+(5+2)=10
Identity element: when adding zero to any number, the quantity does not change.

- Properties of multiplication
Commutative: one can multiply in any order; the order of the factors doesnt change the
product. For instance: 3 5 = 5 3 = 15.
Associative: When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless
of the grouping of the factors. For example: 3 5 2 = (3 5) 2 = 3 (5 2) = 30
Identity element: anything multiplied by one is itself.
Distributive: when multiplying a number by an addition, one can multiply first each addend.
For instance: 2 (3 + 4) = 2 3 + 2 4 = 6 + 8 = 14.

- Exponent Properties
Product of powers:
- Same bases: add the exponents and keep the common base. Example: 3
2
3
4
=3
2+4
=3
6
.
- Same exponents: multiply the bases and keep the exponent. Example: 2
3
5
3
=10
3
.
Quotient of powers:
- Same bases: subtract the exponents and keep the common base. Example: 3
6
3
4
=3
6-4
=3
2
.
- Same exponents: divide the bases and keep the exponent. Example: 10
3
:5
3
=2
3
.
Power to a power:: multiply the exponents. Example: (10
2
)
3
=10
6
and ((10
2
)
3
)
5
=10
30
.
Zero exponent: any number raised to the zero power is equal to 1. Example: 23
0
=1, 3
0
=1.
First power: just keep the base. Example: 23
1
=23, 3
1
=3.

2. DIVISIBILIDAD
Mltiplos (de un nmero): son los que se obtienen al multiplicar el nmero por algn otro.
Ejemplo: 6 es mltiplo de 3 porque 6 = 3 2. Podemos escribir 6
.
Tambin, diremos que 3 es divisor de 6, o que 6 es divisible por 3 (la divisin es exacta).
Nmero primo: si slo es divisible entre 1 y entre s mismo. Ejemplo: 5 es primo ya que
slo se puede dividir entre 1 y 5.
Criterio de la raz: para ver si un nmero es primo, basta probar si es divisible entre alguno
de los primos menores que su raz cuadrada. Si es menor que 100, basta probar con 2,3,5,7.
Nmero compuesto: el que tiene varios divisores. Ejemplo: 6 es compuesto porque 3 es
divisor suyo; esto es, porque es mltiplo de 3. El 1 no es primo ni compuesto.
Factorizar un nmero: es escribirlo como producto de nmeros primos.
- MCD y MCM
El mximo comn divisor (MCD) de varios nmeros es el MAYOR de sus divisores (comunes).
Si tenemos la descomposicin en nmeros primos, se calcula multiplicando los factores
comunes elevados a los menores exponentes. Si no los hay, el MCD es 1, y son primos entre s.
El mnimo comn mltiplo (MCM) es el MENOR de los divisores (comunes).
Si tenemos la descomposicin en nmeros primos, se calcula multiplicando todos los
factores (comunes o no comunes) elevados a los mayores exponentes.
- Criterios de divisibilidad.
Al comprobar la divisibilidad hay que ver si la divisin es exacta. A veces podemos cambiar
primero el nmero por otro ms sencillo. Los criterios dicen por qu nmero cambiarlo.
Divisible por Criterio
2 La ltima cifra (debe ser par: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8).
3 La suma de las cifras.
4
Nos quedamos con las dos ltimas cifras. De esas dos, si la primera es par,
podemos quitarla tambin, y si no, cambiarla por un 1.
5 La ltima cifra (0 5).
6 Que sea
.
7 Multiplicamos por 2 la ltima cifra y se resta con lo que queda del nmero.
9 La suma de las cifras.
11 Sumamos las cifras en lugar par. Luego las de lugar impar, y los restamos..
Para el criterio del 10, 100, etc., basta mirar si acaba en 0, en 00, etc.

12
DIVISIBILITY
Multiple (of a number): is the product of any quantity and the number. Example: 6 is
multiple of 3 since 6 = 3 2. We may write 6
.
We also say 3 that is a divisor of 6, or 6 is divisible by 3 (the division leaves no remainder).
Prime number: is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1
and itself. Example: 5 is prime as only 1 and 5 divide it.
Root test: to check if a number is prime, it is enough to check if it is divisible by any prime
number less than its square root. If it is less than 100, just try with 2, 3, 5 and 7.
Composite number: a number having several divisors. Example: 6 is composite since 3 is its
divisor; that is to say, since it is multiple of 3. Number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
Factoring a number is the decomposition into a product of powers of prime numbers.
- GCD y LCM (of several numbers)
The greatest common divisor (GCD) is the LARGEST of their (common) divisors.
It can be found using prime factorizations; multiplying all primes common to them raised to
the smallest exponents. If there are none, GCD is 1, and numbers are coprimes.
The least common multiple (LCM) is the SMALLEST number multiple of all them.
It can be found using prime factorizations; multiplying all primes (common or not) raised to
the largest exponents.
- Divisibility rules.
To check divisibility one must verify that the division is exact. Sometimes we can replace it
first for a simpler number. Divisibility rules tell us which number.
Divisor Divisibility condition
2 The last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).
3 Sum the digits.
4
Examine the last two digits. If the first of them is even, we can remove it. If
it is odd, replace it by 1.
5 The last digit is 0 or 5.
6 It is divisible by 2 and by 3
7 Subtract 2 times the last digit from the rest.
9 Sum the digits.
11
Add even digits on the one hand and odd digits on the other hand. Then,
substract both quantities.
Rules for 10, 100, etc., just check if it ends in a 0, a 00, etc.

METRIC DECIMAL SYSTEM
Magnitude: amount that can be measured with numbers, using units of measurement.
Mixed units: When we use multiple units to express the quantity. Ex. 3km 200m.
UNITS:
- Length: We use the metre (m).
Multiples: decametre (dam), hectometre (hm), kilometre (km).
Submultiples: centimetre (cm), decimetre (dm), millimetre (mm).
- Mass: gram (g). They are also used the ton t=1000kg, and quintal 1q=100kg.
- Capacity: the litre (l). (and sometimes the myriagram mag=10Kg)

- Surface: square metre (m
2
). Multiples and submultiples are counted by 100ths.
- Agrarian units: are a=100m
2
, hectare ha=10.000m
2
, centiare ca= 1m
2
.
- Volume: cubic metre (m
3
). Multiples and submultiples are counted by 1000ths.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THEM: 1l =1dm
3
(1ml =1cm
3
). One litre of distilled water weighs 1kg.
SEXAGESIMAL SYSTEM
It is used to measure angles (degrees, minutes and seconds) and time (hours, minutes and seconds).
Examples: An angle can measure 30 20 15, and a film last 1h 20m 10s.
Multiples and submultiples are counted by sixtieths.
- Kind of angles:
Acute: measures less than 90. Obtuse: greater than 90. Right: 90. Straight: 180.
- Relative position of a pair of angles:
- Complementary: if the sum of them is 90.
- Supplementary: if they sum a straight angle.
- Consecutives: they have a common vertex and a common arm.
- Adjacents: supplementary and consecutives.
- Vertically opposites: they have a common vertex and their arms lie on the same lines.
Opposite angles always measure equal.

4. POLGONOS Y CIRCUNFERENCIAS
- Polgono: figura cerrada y plana limitada por segmentos, llamados lados, que se cortan en
los vrtices. Se llaman tringulo, cuadriltero, pentgono, hexgono, etc.
Si todos los ngulos interiores son convexos, el polgono es convexo. Si alguno es cncavo, el
polgono es cncavo. Si todos los lados y ngulos son iguales, el polgono es regular.
- Polgono inscrito: cuando sus vrtices estn en una circunferencia. Si el polgono es
regular, el segmento que une el centro con el lado se llama apotema.
- Los ngulos de todo tringulo suman 180, y los de un polgono convexo, 180 (lados-2).
- TRINGULOS. Clasificacin
Equiltero: todos iguales. Issceles: dos iguales. Escaleno: todos distintos.

POLYGONS AND CIRCLES
- Polygon: closed and plane figure bounded by segments, called edges or sides that meet at
the vertices (vertex, corners). They are called triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, etc.
If all interior angles are convex, the polygon is said to be convex. If there is any concave, it is
said to be concave. If all angles and sides are equals, the polygon is regular.
- Inscribed polygon: when all the vertices lie on a circumference. If the polygon is regular,
the segment uniting the centre and any side is called apothem.
- The sum of angles in a triangle is 180, and in a convex polygon is: 180 (sides-2).
- TRIANGLES. Classification
Equilateral: all equal. Isosceles: two equal. Scalene: all unequal.
Right: one is right. Acute: all are acute. Obtuse: one is obtuse.
Lines and points associated:
Median: line through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. They intersect in the
barycentre (G) (centroid or centre of mass).
Side Bisector: perpendicular line passing through the midpoint of the side. They meet in the
circumcentre (O), which is the centre of the circumcircle.
Altitude: line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side. They connect in the
orthocentre (H). It is the height of the triangle.
Eulers line: unites baricentre, circumcentre and orthocentre.
Angle Bisector: line through a vertex which cuts the
corresponding angle in half. The angle bisectors intersect in
the incentre, the centre of the triangle's incircle.
- QUADRILATERALS.
- The interior angles of a simple quadrilateral add up to 360.
Parallelograms: quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. They include:
Square: sides of equal length and right angles Rectangle: right angles,
Rhombus (diamond): all sides are of equal length Rhomboid: two pairs of equal sides and angles.
Trapezium: one pair of opposite sides are parallel. Can be right, Isosceles or Scalene.
Trapezoid: no sides are parallel.

- CIRCUMFERENCES AND CIRCLES
(In English they prefer to talk about circles instead of circumferences).
- Curve where all points are at the same distance of one called centre.
- Radius: segment from its centre to any point of the circle.
- Chord: line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle.
- Diameter: chord that passes through the centre.
- Arc: portion of the circumference of a circle between two points.
- Relative positions.
(*) Tangency at a point: when two figures are almost equal near the point.
- Line and a circle: they can be secant, tangent or exterior. When they are tangents, the
radius is perpendicular to the line.
- Circles: they can be concentric, tangents (internal or external), secants, internal or
externals.

5. FRACCIONES
Usaremos las fracciones para escribir divisiones donde no necesitemos calcular el cociente.
Ejemplo:
. El conjunto de todas las fracciones se llama nmeros racionales. Su smbolo es .

- Fraccin propia: si el numerador es menor que el denominador. Ej.:
.
- Fraccin impropia: si el numerador es mayor que el denominador. Ej.:
.
- Cualquier nmero es una fraccin. Basta poner 1 como denominador. Ej.: 3=
.
Propiedad fundamental: dos fracciones son equivalentes (el mismo nmero) si al multiplicar
en cruz se obtiene lo mismo.
- Operaciones con fracciones:
Amplificacin: multiplicar numerador y denominador por el mismo nmero.
.
Reducir a comn denominador es amplificarlas para que el denominador sea el MCM.
Simplificacin: dividir numerador y denominador por el mismo nmero.
. Cuando
una fraccin no puede simplificarse ms, es irreducible.
Orden: reducimos a comn denominador y comparamos los numeradores.
(*) Si tienen el mismo numerador, es mayor la de menor denominador.
Suma y resta: reducimos a comn denominador, y se suma o restan los numeradores.
Multiplicacin: se multiplica en lnea.
.
(*) Para calcular una parte de un nmero, se multiplica. Ej.
de 20 =

Divisin: se multiplica en cruz.
.
Despus de hacer una cuenta, siempre hay que SIMPLIFICAR el resultado.

FRACTIONS
We use fractions for writing a division where we do not need to calculate the quotient.
Example:
, which is read as three over four, three fourths or three quarters. The set of all
fractions is called rational numbers. It is represented by the symbol .
(*) A line usually separates the numerator and denominator. If the line is slanting () it is called a
solidus or forward slash. If the line is horizontal, it is called a vinculum or, informally, a fraction bar.
- Proper fraction: if the numerator is less than the denominator. Ex.:
.
- Improper fraction: if numerator is greater than denominator. Ex.:
.
- Any number is a fraction. Just place 1 as denominator. Ex.: 3=
.
Fundamental property: we can test if two fractions are equivalents (have the same value) by
cross-multiplying their numerators and denominators (results must be equals). This is also
called taking the cross-product.
- Operations with fractions:
Convert: multiply numerator and denominator by the same number.
.
Reduce to common denominator: convert them to turn their denominator into the LCM.
Reduce: divide numerator and denominator by the same number.
. When a fraction
cannot be reduced any more, it is said to be irreducible, or in lowest terms.
Order: reduce to common denominator. The larger fraction is the one with the larger
numerator.
(*) If two fractions have the same numerator, then the fraction with the smaller denominator
is the larger fraction.
Addition and subtraction: reduce to common denominator, and add or subtract
numerators.
Multiplication: multiply across the top and bottom.
.
(*) To calculate a fraction of a number, multiply them. Ex.
of 20 =

Division: cross-multiply.
.
After a calculation, you need to SIMPLIFY, whenever possible.

Usaremos unidades decimales (dcima, centsima, milsima,). El conjunto de todos los
nmeros con decimales se llama nmeros reales. Su smbolo es .
La parte entera va antes de la coma, y la parte decimal detrs.
- Tipos de decimales:
Exacto: vienen de una divisin exacta. Slo tienen algunos decimales.
Peridico: vienen de una divisin no exacta. Un grupo de decimales (periodo) se repite
infinitamente. Son puros si toda la parte decimal es peridica. Si no, son mixtos.
Irracionales (): no son fracciones, y tienen infinitos decimales no peridicos.
- Operaciones (cmo se hacen):
Orden: primero comparamos la parte entera. Despus la decimal, rellenando con ceros.
Aproximacin: - Truncar: quitamos las cifras decimales que no necesitemos.
- Redondear: truncamos, pero hay que aumentar en uno la ltima cifra si la
siguiente cifra era mayor o igual que 5.
Suma y resta: hay que colocar las comas encima de las comas.
Multiplicacin: en el resultado hay que poner tantos decimales como tuvieran los factores.
Divisin: corremos las comas hasta que el divisor no tenga decimales. Despus, cuando
bajamos el primer decimal, se pone la coma en el cociente.

DECIMAL NUMBERS
We will use decimal units (tenth, hundredth, thousandth,). The set of all decimal numbers is
called real numbers. It is represented by the symbol .
The integer (integral) part is the part to the left of the point, and the decimal part to the right.
- Types of decimal numbers:
Terminating: they come from a terminating decimal fraction. Decimals stop after a few digits.
Periodic (recurring decimal): they come from a recurring decimal fraction. A group of
decimals (period) repeat forever. We call those which start their recurring cycle
immediately after the decimal point purely recurring. Those that have some extra
digits before their cycles are also called mixed recurring (or eventually recurring).
Irrational (): any number which does not stop and does not end with a recurring pattern
(thus they are non-fractional numbers).
- Operations (how to perform them):
Order: compare first the integer part. Then the decimal, filled with trailing zeros.
Approximation: - Truncating : remove the decimal digits you do not need.
- Rounding: truncate, but increase in one the last digit if the next one was
greater or equal to 5.
Adding and subtracting: line up the terms so that all the decimal points are in a vertical line.
Multiplication: the number of decimal places of the result is the sum of the decimal places in
the factors.
Division: move all decimal points to right to make the divisor a whole number. Put decimal
point in the quotient when you use the first decimal of the dividend.

7. NMEROS ENTEROS
Los nmeros enteros son todos los naturales (0, 1, 2,) y sus opuestos (-1,-2,-3,). Su
smbolo matemtico es . Pueden representarse en la recta numrica:

- Operaciones:
Orden: Usamos los smbolos < y > . Un nmero es mayor que otro si est ms a la derecha
en la recta numrica. Diremos que 3 < 5 y que -3 > -5.
Suma: sumamos positivos por una parte y negativos por otra. Dos nmeros con distinto
signo se restan, y se deja el signo del mayor. Ejemplo: 3 + 2 4 5 + 3 = 8 9 = -1.
Multiplicacin, divisin: se usa la
y parntesis

Quitar parntesis: (usando la propiedad distributiva)
Signo +: se quita el parntesis y se deja todo como est. Ej.: +(-5+1)= -5+1.
Signo -: se cambia cada signo. Ej.: -(-5+1)= +5 -1.:
Potencia de base negativa (entre parntesis): si el exponente es impar dejamos el signo -
y si es par se quita. Por ejemplo: (-3)
2
=3
2
=9 y (-2)
3
= - 2
3
= - 8.
Mucho cuidado con - 3
2
= - 9. Si la base NO est entre parntesis, no se quita el signo!
Raz cuadrada: No hay races cuadradas de nmeros negativos.
Por ejemplo, , porque 3
2

INTEGER NUMBERS
The Integers are formed by the natural (or whole) numbers (0, 1, 2,) and their opposites.
Their mathematical symbol is . We may depict the integers on the number line:

- Operations:
Order: We will use symbols < and > . A bigger number will always be found to the right
of a smaller number. We shall say that 3 < 5 and 10 > 2 .
Sum: We add positives on the one side and negatives on the other. Integers with different
signs: subtract them and keep the sign of the largest. Example: 3 + 2 4 5 + 3 = 8 9 = -1.
Multiplication, division: one uses the
and parenthesis

Eliminate parentheses
+ sign: remove the parentheses and leave everything as it is. Ex.: +(-5+1)= -5+1.
- sign: change the signs. Ex.: -(-5+1)= +5-1.
Power having negative base (in parentheses): if the exponent is odd, then leave - sign,
but if the exponent is even, remove it. For example: (-3)
2
=3
2
=9 y (-2)
3
= - 2
3
= - 8.
Watch out!: - 3
2
= - 9. If the base is NOT in parentheses, do not remove the sign!
Square root: There is no square root for negative numbers.
For instance, , because 3
2
= 9, but does not exist.
Absolute value: it is the number without its sign. |-2| = 2, and |+2| = 2.

8. PROPORCIONALIDAD
- Razn entre dos magnitudes: es su cociente.
Ejemplo:

. Adems, diremos que 8 es el antecedente y 10 el consecuente.
- Proporcin: es la igualdad entre dos razones. El nmero obtenido se llama constante de
proporcionalidad. Ejemplo:
es una proporcin y la constante es 2.5. Adems, 5 y 10 se

llaman extremos, y 2 y 25 medios.
- Relacin entre dos magnitudes:
Directa: si una aumenta, la otra tambin. Si adems son proporcionales, para calcular una se
multiplica la constante por la otra, y al doble de una le corresponde el doble de la otra, etc.
Inversa: si una aumenta, la otra disminuye. Si adems son proporcionales, para calcular una
se divide la constante por la otra, y al doble de una le corresponde la mitad de la otra, etc.
- Clculo del cuarto proporcional:
Para resolver algo como
, se usa la propiedad fundamental: ( 5x=1 20 )

El producto de los medios es igual al producto de los extremos.
- Resolucin de problemas. Se pueden hacer de dos formas:
1: calcular la constante de proporcionalidad reduccin a la unidad.
2: hacer el planteamiento usando la regla de tres.
- Para el Reparto Proporcional, la cantidad a repartir se corresponde con el total.
- PORCENTAJES:
Clculo: se multiplica (el porcentaje en forma de nmero). Ejemplo: 5% de 20 = 0.05 20=1.
Problemas: se pueden hacer de dos formas.
1: Por regla de tres. Siempre es directamente proporcional. El total es el 100%.
2: Se calculan los porcentajes y luego se hacen las operaciones.

58
PROPORTIONALITY
- Ratio between magnitudes: it is their quotient.
Example:

. Furthermore, we will say 8 is the antecedent and 10 the consequent.
- Proportion: It is a statement that two ratios are equal. The number obtained is called
constant of proportionality. Example:
is a proportion and the constant is 2.5.

Furthermore, 5 and 10 are called extremes, and 2 and 25 means.
- Relationship between magnitudes (types of variation):
Direct: the greater the 1
st
, the greater the 2
nd
. If they are also proportional, to calculate one,
multiply the constant by the other. If one doubles, the other will also double, etc.
Inverse: the greater the 1
st
, the smaller the 2
nd
. If they are also proportional, to calculate
one, divide the constant by the other. If one doubles, the other will become half as large, etc.
- Finding the fourth proportional:
To solve something like
, one uses the fundamental property: ( 5x=1 20 )

the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
- Problem solving. There are two ways:
1
st
: find the constant of variation unitary method.
2
nd
: set the problem up using the rule of three.
- For Proportional Distribution, the amount to share out corresponds to the total.
- PERCENTAGES:
Calculation: multiply (with the percentage as a number). Example: 5% of 20 = 0.05 20=1.
Problems: there are two ways.
1
st
: Rule of three. Variation is always direct. The total is 100%.
2
nd
: Calculate percentages first and then perform the calculations.

9. LENGUAJE ALGEBRAICO
- Expresin algebraica: nmeros y letras variables unidos por operaciones matemticas.
- Valor numrico: resultado de sustituir las letras por nmeros en una expresin algebraica.
- Monomio: producto de un nmero coeficiente por varias letras parte literal (se admiten
exponentes en las letras pero no races de letras, o letras en el denominador, etc.). El grado
del monomio es la suma de los exponentes.
- Suma y resta de monomios semejantes (con la misma parte literal): se suman o restan los
coeficientes. Ej.: 2x+5x=7x, y 2x-5x=-3x.
- Polinomio: suma y/o resta de varios monomios trminos.
Trmino independiente: un nmero que aparece sin letras. Su grado es 0.
- Quitar parntesis: (usando la propiedad distributiva)
Signo +: se quita el parntesis y se deja todo como est. Ej.: +(-5x+1)= -5x+1.
Signo -: se cambia el signo de cada trmino. Ej.: -(-5x+1)= +5x -1.
Producto por un nmero: se usa la propiedad distributiva. Ej.: 2(-5x+1)= -10x+2.
ECUACIONES
- Ecuacin: Igualdad entre expresiones algebraicas que slo se cumple para algunos valores de
las letras, que se llaman solucin. Resolver la ecuacin es encontrar las soluciones.
Las letras se llaman incgnitas. El grado es el mayor grado de los trminos.
La parte de la izquierda primer miembro, y la de la derecha, segundo miembro.
- Resolucin de ecuaciones de primer grado (ecuaciones lineales):

1. Quitar parntesis.
2. Quitar denominadores.
3. Transponer y agrupar trminos
semejantes.
4. Despejar la incgnita.
(reduciendo primero a comn denominador, o si es
una igualdad de fracciones, se multiplica en cruz).
(se les cambia el signo al cambiarlos de miembro).
(Si un nmero multiplica a un miembro, pasa al otro
dividiendo, y viceversa)

ALGEBRAIC LANGUAGE
- Algebraic expression: numbers and letters variables joined by mathematical operations.
- Numerical value: the result of replacing letters by numbers in an algebraic expression.
- Monomial: algebraic expression where a number coefficient is multiplied by letters literal
part (exponents are allowed for letters but not square roots, nor a letter in a denominator,
etc.). The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents.
- Addition and subtraction of like monomials (with the same literal part): add or subtract
coefficients. For instance: 2x+5x=7x and 2x-5x=-3x.
- Polynomial: addition and/or subtraction of several monomials terms.
Independent term: a number without letters. Its degree is 0.
Ex: 3x
2
-5x+1: second degree trinomial, principal coefficient 3 and independent term 1.
- Operations with polynomials: (with the polynomial in parentheses)
+ sign: remove the parentheses and leave everything as it is. Ex.: +(-5x+1)= -5x+1.
- sign: change the sign of the terms. Ex.: -(-5x+1)= +5x-1.
Product by a number: one uses the distributive property. Ex.: 2(-5x+1)= -10x+2.
EQUATIONS
- Equation: Equality of two algebraic expressions that is correct for only certain values of the
letters, called solution. To solve an equation is to find its solutions.
Letters are called unknowns. The degree is the greatest of the terms degrees.
The left side is the first member, and the right side, the second member.
- Solving first degree equations (linear equations):

5. Eliminate parentheses.
6. Eliminate fractions.
7. Transpose and combine like terms.
8. Get the unknown by itself.
(reduce first to common denominator, or if it is an
equality of fractions, cross multiply.).
(changing the sign when changing to the other side).
(If a number multiplies on one member, goes to the
other dividing it, and vice versa)

11. FUNCIONES Y GRFICAS
- EL PLANO CARTESIANO
Para dar coordenadas a los puntos de un plano usamos dos rectas, que se llaman ejes de
coordenadas. Su punto de corte se llama origen de coordenadas (O).
- Eje de abscisas (X): recta horizontal.
- Eje de ordenadas (Y): recta vertical.
El plano queda dividido en cuatro cuadrantes.
Para cada punto, escribimos sus coordenadas entre
parntesis. Ejemplo P(3,2).
- FUNCIONES
- Una funcin es una relacin entre dos conjuntos (inicial y final), de manera que a cada
elemento del primero le corresponde uno solo del segundo
- Variable independiente (x): los valores del conjunto inicial.
- Variable dependiente (y): los valores del conjunto final.

Formas de expresar una funcin:
- Lenguaje natural: una frase que describe la relacin. Ejemplo: el doble de cada nmero.
- Tabla de valores: en una fila (o columna) colocamos la variable independiente, y en otra la
dependiente. Ejemplo:

- Una grfica: en el eje de abscisas colocamos la variable
independiente (x) y en el de ordenadas la dependiente (y).
Ejemplo:

- Una frmula: una ecuacin describe cmo estn relacionadas las variables. Substituyendo el
valor de x en la frmula, se obtiene el de y. Ejemplo: y=2x. Para x=3 resulta y=23=6.
[*] Para las rectas y= mx+n, el coeficiente de x se denomina pendiente, y mide la inclinacin
de la recta. Por ejemplo, y=3x+n tiene pendiente m=3.

FUNCTIONS AND GRAPHS
- CARTESIAN PLANE
We use a pair or lines to set coordinates for each point of a plane; they are called coordinate
axis. They meet at the origin of coordinates (O).
- Abscissa axis (X): horizontal line.
- Ordinate axis (Y): vertical line.
The plane is divided into four regions called quadrants.
For each point we write its coordinates in parentheses.
Example P(3,2).
- FUNCTIONS
- A function is a relationship between two sets (initial/input and final/output), such that each
input is associated to one and only one output.
- Independent variable (x): the input to a function.
- Dependent variable (y): the output.

Ways to give a function:
- Natural language: a sentence describing the relationship. Example: the double of each
number.
- Table of values: we put the independent variable in a row (or column) and the dependent in
another. Example:

- A graph: we put the independent variable (x) in the
abscissa axis and the dependent (y) in the ordinate.
Example:

- A formula: and equation describing how the variables are related. By substituting the value
of x into the formula, one get y value. Example: y=2x. For x=3 results y=23=6.
[*] For lines y= mx+n, the xcoefficient is called slope, and measures the steepness of the
line. For example, y=3x+n has a slope m=3.

12. ESTADSTICA
- La estadstica es la ciencia que se ocupa de recoger, resumir y analizar datos. Tambin de
sacar conclusiones, hacer predicciones y tomar decisiones.
- Tabla de Frecuencias
- Frecuencia absoluta: nmero de veces que se repite el dato.
- Frecuencia relativa: indica qu parte del total es ese dato. Podemos medirlo en porcentaje.
- Frecuencia acumulada: el nmero de datos que hay menores o iguales que l.
- Grficos Estadsticos
- Diagrama de barras (y de puntos): dibujamos la variable estadstica en el eje horizontal y la
frecuencia en el vertical.
- Polgono de frecuencias: unimos las barras del grfico con segmentos.
- Diagrama de sectores: dividimos un crculo en partes proporcionales a la frecuencia.
- Caja y bigotes: ponemos los valores mnimo, mximo y cuartiles en la recta numrica.
- Diagrama de tallo-hojas: ordenamos los datos en una tabla. El tallo es la primera parte del
nmero y la hoja la ltima cifra. Hay una hoja por cada dato (y puede haber hojas iguales).
- Medidas de Centralizacin
- Media (
): suma de los datos dividido entre el nmero de datos. Puede ser ponderada,
(multiplicando por unos pesos, para dar ms importancia a algunos datos).
- Mediana: tras ordenar los datos, el que queda justo en la mitad. Los cuartiles son los que
quedan en el 25%, 50% (la mitad), y el 75%.
- Moda: el dato que tenga la mayor frecuencia (puede haber varias modas).

92
STATISTICS
- Statistics is the science that gathers, summarizes and analyses data. Also, it is dedicated to
find conclusions, make predictions and make decisions.
- Frequency tables/charts
- Absolute frequency: the number of times the data value occurs.
- Relative frequency: what part of the total is that data. It can be measured in percentage.
- Cumulative frequency: the number of data less or equal than a given data.
- Statistic Graphs
- Bar graph: (and line plot) we put the statistic variable on a horizontal axis. Frequency is put
on the vertical.
- Frequency polygon: join the bars by line segments.
- Circle graph (pie chart): a circular chart divided into sectors, proportional to the frequency.
- Box and whisker: we place the least data, the greatest data and quartiles on the number line.
- Stem-and-leaf plot: the stem tells the first part of the number and the leaf tells the last digit
of the number. There is one leaf for each data (and leaves can be repeated).
- Central Tendency measures
- Mean (
): the sum of the numbers divided by the number of data. It can be weighted,
(multiplying by some weights, to give more importance to some data).
- Median: when the numbers are arranged from least to greatest, it is in the middle.
Quartiles split the data into four sections. Each section contains 25% of the data.
- Mode: the number that appears most often. (There can be several modes.)

19. These box-and-whisker plots show the cholesterol levels of a group of people before and
after they took a certain medicine for two months. What do they show you about
cholesterol levels before and after taking the drug (medicina)?
[Sol: a) The highest values for cholesterol were found before, and the lowest, after taking the drug. The
range is similar for both sets.
b) The median is much lower in the after box, which indicates the typical cholesterol was reduced by
the medicine.

So Store B has a greater range of prices.
b) Store As stock has a median price of $70, whereas (mientras que) Store Bs stock has a median
price of $40. So Store Bs items are typically less expensive than Store As. (Half of Store As stock is
under $70, but half of the Store Bs stock is under $40)
c) The middle 50% of the prices in Store B are much more spread out (esparcidos) than they are in

13. PROBABILIDAD
- Experimento: suceso que podemos repetir bajo condiciones semejantes. Puede ser:
Deterministas: slo hay un resultado posible.
Aleatorio: si hay varios resultados posibles. Cada uno de estos resultados se llama
suceso elemental. El conjunto de todos los resultados posibles se llama Espacio Muestral (E).
La unin de varios sucesos elementales se llama suceso compuesto.
- Experimento compuesto: cuando el experimento puede dividirse en otros ms
sencillos. Para calcular el espacio muestral podemos usar un diagrama de rbol.
Ejemplo: lanzar dos monedas puede descomponerse en: 1 moneda y 2 moneda.
- Si no necesitamos todo el espacio muestral, podemos podar el rbol: no dibujar las ramas
que no nos interesan.
- Probabilidad: es el grado de creencia que tenemos de que ocurra un suceso. La medimos en
porcentaje, fraccin o nmero (entre 0 y 1).
Un suceso de probabilidad 100%, se llama suceso seguro, y el de probabilidad 0% se llama
suceso imposible.
- Clculo de probabilidades:
- Regla de LaPlace:

, pero slo puede usarse cuando podemos afirmar
que todos los casos tienen la misma probabilidad (son equiprobables).
- Diagramas de rbol: la probabilidad de cada suceso se calcula multiplicando la de cada rama.
- Ley de los grandes nmeros: la probabilidad es la frecuencia relativa, siempre que se haya
repetido el experimento muchas veces.

100
PROBABILITY
- Experiment: test we can repeat under similar conditions. It can be:
Deterministic: there is only one possible result.
Random: There is more than one possible result. Each of them is called simple event l.
The set of all possible outcomes is called the Sample Space (S).
If an event has more than one elements then it is called a compound event.
- Compound Experiment: when the experiment can be break into some more
simple ones. We can use a tree diagram to calculate the sample space.
Example: tossing two coins may be broke into: 1
st
coin and 2
nd
coin.
- If we do not need the whole sample space we can prune the tree: do not draw the branches
we are not interested in.
- Probability: degree of likelihood that something will happen. We can measure it in
percentage, fraction or number (between 0 and 1).
A 100% probable event is called sure event, and a 0% probable event is called impossible
event.

- Computing probabilities:
- LaPlaces rule (rule of Succession):

, it can only be used when we
can state that all outcomes are equally likely (are equiprobable).
- Tree diagrams: the probability of each event is computed multiplying the probability of each
branch.
- Law of Large Numbers: the relative frequency is the probability, as long as we repeat the
experiment many times.
P=0 P=
=50% P=1=100%

14. Cuerpos Geomtricos y Volmenes
- Poliedro: cuerpo geomtrico cerrado con caras planas. Arista: cada lado de las caras.
Poliedro convexo: si el segmento que une dos puntos cualquiera est dentro del poliedro.
Poliedro cncavo: si alguno de los segmentos sale fuera del poliedro.
- Frmula de Euler: en todo poliedro convexo (y todo cuerpo del tipo de la esfera)

- Poliedro regular (slidos platnicos): si todas las caras son polgonos regulares iguales y en
cada vrtice concurre el mismo nmero de caras. Hay cinco.

- Prisma: tiene dos caras iguales y paralelas bases, y las otras son paralelogramos.

Cuando la base es un paralelogramo, se llama paraleleppedo. Si adems sus
ngulos son rectos, se llama ortoedro (como un rectngulo, con volumen).
- Pirmide: una cara es un polgono y el resto tringulos que concurren en un punto.

- Cuerpo de revolucin: el obtenido haciendo girar una curva plana (generatriz) alrededor de
una recta (eje). Ejemplos: cilindro, cono y esfera.
Principio de Cavalieri: si dos cuerpos de la misma altura tienen secciones de
reas iguales, entonces tienen el mismo volumen.

GEOMETRIC BODIES AND VOLUMES
- Polyhedron: a solid figure bounded by polygonal faces. Edges: sides of the faces.
Convex polyhedron: if any line segment joining two points is inside the polyhedron.
Concave polyhedron: if there is a line segment joining two points outside the polyhedron.
- Eulers formula: in any convex polyhedron (or geometric body of the type of the sphere)

- Regular polyhedra (platonic solids): when all its faces are equal regular polygons and on
every vertex meet the same number of faces. There are five.

- Prism: has two equal parallel faces bases, and the others are parallelograms.

When the base is a parallelogram, it is called parallelepiped. Moreover if it is
right-angled, it is called cuboid (like a rectangle, with volume).
- Pyramid: one face is a polygon and the others triangles that meet at one point

- Solid of revolution: it is obtained by rotating a plane curve (generatrix) around a straight
line (axis). Examples: cylinder, cone y sphere.
Cavalieris principle: if two bodies have the same height and their sections
have the same areas, then they have the same volume.
- Examples: Volume of the cylinder: V=A
