Fractions and decimals
1.1 Integers
Integers are whole numbers, either positive or negative.
Addition and subtraction

Think of additions and subtractions as operations on a bank account, i.e. as deposits and withdrawals.
You commence with $2 in the account; you deposit $3, then withdraw $9. Final balance $4, an overdraft of $4.
Since the order of transactions does not affect the final result, it is often easier to change the given order.
Example
2 3 2 4 1 3 9 3 6 Total deposits $9 and total withdrawals $6.
When the same number is both added and subtracted, it is easiest to disregard it.
Example
2 3 2 4 1 3 4 3 1
Since a negative number has the opposite effect to a positive number, a double negative is equivalent to a positive. For example, 3 is the opposite of 3; also, 3 is the opposite of 3, and is equal to 3.
Chapter 1 Fractions and Decimals 1
In this course we do not require a rigorous mathematical proof of this but will rely upon commonsense because it seems clear that in any language, a double negative gives a positive. For example: if I say then I am saying which means I am not talking nonsense I am not talking no-sense I am talking sense (a double negative statement) (a positive statement).
Example
Subtracting 2 from 5, we have: 5 2 5 2 7
Remember : Subtracting a negative quantity means adding that quantity.

1.2 Order of operations

By international agreement, when a string of numbers contains a variety of different operations, the order in which the operations are to be performed is:

Squares and square roots

N 2 is the square of the number N; it is that number multiplied by itself. For example, 62 N is the positive square root of the number N, i.e. the positive number that must be multiplied by itself in order to obtain that number. For example, 9 3 because 3 3
36. 9.

1.3 Fractions
In this section, we will revise fractions. There are three common notations for real numbers: fractions, decimals and percentages.
Example
23 100
0.23
23%
It is essential that you can perform operations on all such numbers and quickly convert between these different notations.
Equivalent fractions
You will remember that 3 of a quantity is the amount we obtain if we divide the quantity into 3 equal parts and take 2 of them.
2
To obtain the same amount, we could divide the quantity into 6 equal parts and take 4 of them, and so on.
Example
1 3 2 6 3 9 These are called equivalent fractions
It follows that if the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same number, the size of the fraction is unchanged; we obtain an equivalent fraction. Hence, also, the numerator and denominator may be divided by the same number to obtain an equivalent fraction. When as many as possible such divisions are made, the fraction is expressed in its simplest form and is said to be in its lowest terms.
Example
2250 5250 225 525 45 105 9 21 3 7
Divisibility rules
Example
Which of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9 will divide into 31 836?
Solution
First note that 3 1 8 3 6 21. Hence the answer is: 2 (because 2 divides into 6) 4 (because 4 divides into 36) 3 (because 3 divides into 21)
Exercises 1.3

Cancelling
Dividing a fraction above and below by the same number is often called cancelling when this number occurs both in the denominator and in the numerator.
Example
7 3 5 13 11 7 5 3 13 11
Note: You can cancel only when all the numbers in the numerator are multiplied and all the numbers in the denominator are multiplied.
Examples
1
7 3 7 3
5 13 11 7 5 13 11 7
The sevens cannot be cancelled here because of the plus sign (in the denominator). The sevens cannot be cancelled here because of the minus sign (in the numerator).

Cancel first if possible, then express in simplest form: 2 3 4 321 2 3 a b 3 13 2 321 98 19 17 98
Mixed numbers
A mixed number consists of an integer and a fraction. You should be able to convert mixed numbers to fractions and vice versa.

Multiply the numbers, ignoring the decimal points. Insert the decimal point in your result, making sure that the number of decimal places in the result is the same as the total number of decimal places in the original numbers.
Examples
1
23.4 0.13 First multiply: 234 13 3042 Since there are three decimal places in the original numbers (one in 23.4 and two in 0.13), we must have three decimal places in the result. Hence, the answer is 3.042.
12
1.23 0.0024 123 24 2952 We must have six decimal places in the result. answer 0.002 952 (note two zeros inserted to give six decimal places)

Rounding up and down

If the denominator has only 2 and 5 as its prime factors, as in the cases above, the decimal terminates, and the fraction can be expressed exactly as a decimal. However, if the denominator contains other prime factors, the decimal will not terminate and a recurring (or repeating) decimal will be obtained. These decimals are written with dots or bars over the recurring digits.
Examples

1 3 2114 990

or 2.135
In such cases the results are given only to the accuracy required.
Examples
3 11
0.27272727 . . . (
.. 0.27 )
When written correctly to one decimal place, the result is 0.3, since 0.3 is closer to the correct result than is 0.2. Written correct to two decimal places, the result is 0.27, since this is as close to the correct result as we can approximate using only two decimal places.
As can be seen from the above, if the next decimal place is 5 or greater, you should raise the last digit to obtain the more accurate approximation.
Division by a decimal
Convert the fraction to an equivalent fraction such that the denominator is an integer, then proceed as before.

Eulers constant, e, and the exponential growth formula
A1 Eulers constant, e
1 h approaches a limiting value as h becomes larger and h larger (i.e. as h ) is beyond the scope of this course. However, you can verify the truth of this statement by evaluating the expression for larger and larger values of h. You should understand that no amount of verification of a statement constitutes a proof because you have not tested the statement for all possible cases. No matter how many tests you perform for different values of h, there is still the possibility that for some untested value the statement does not hold true. 1 h For example, using your calculator, evaluate the expression h when h 1, 10, 100, h 1000, . . . The proof that the expression h In the eighteenth century, the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler discovered that although the value of this expression becomes larger and larger as h increases, this value does not increase without limit but approaches a value that is known as e. We say that the limit of the value of 1 h h as h becomes larger and larger is e. Mathematicians abbreviate this statement to h 1 h lim h e. h h This value, like the value of , has been calculated to thousands of decimal places and 2.718. Its value is such a useful number in mathematics that your calculator has keys on it that enable you to find the value of ex, ex and logarithms to the base e.

Mass and weight
An acceleration of a m/s per second means that the velocity increases by a m/s each second. For example, a body that starts from rest and has an acceleration of 7 m/s per second (i.e. 7 m/s/s, 7 m/s2) will have velocities on each successive second of 0 m/s, 7 m/s, 14 m/s, 21 m/s, etc. A body that has no resultant force acting upon it will continue to remain at rest or will continue to move with a constant speed in a straight line (Newtons first law of motion). In order to give a body an acceleration (i.e. a change in speed or direction of motion, or both), a resultant force must act upon it. The force required to give a body a particular acceleration is proportional to the mass (inertia) of the body and to the magnitude of the acceleration. The force required to give a mass of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/s2 is called a newton (N). The force required to give a mass of m kg an acceleration of a m/s2 is given by the formula F ma.
When a body is in free fall in a vacuum (i.e. with no resistance from air, water etc.), the only force acting upon it is the gravitational attraction towards the centre of the earth, which will give it an acceleration that is independent of its mass and is known as g. Because the earth is not a perfect sphere this force and acceleration depend on its location on the earth (i.e. on how far it is from the centre of gravity of the earth). The value of g throughout Australasia has the value of 9.80 m/s2 correct to 3 significant figures but in other places can vary from this value by about 0.2%. In our work we will take the value of g to be 9.80 m/s2. The force of gravitational attraction that produces this acceleration in free fall is commonly called the weight of the body and is given by given by F mg. For example, a body of mass 13.7 kg has a weight of approximately 13.7 9.80 N 134 N. A mass of 1.649 t (1649 kg) has a weight of approximately 1649 9.80 N 16 200 N (i.e. 16.2 kN).
Remember : Weight is a forcethe force with which the earth attracts the body (for a reason still undiscovered by scientists). This is the force required to support the body or to lift the body.
Isaac Newton (16421727) is commonly associated with the concept of the falling apple and gravity so it is appropriate that the unit of force is called the newton (N) and that 1 N is approximately the weight of a medium-size apple. Remember when you hold an apple in your hand that the force on your hand is approximately 1 newton (1 N).
Appendix B Mass and Weight
101
Note: In some exercises you will need to use the fact that on any body of mass m kg, there is a vertically downward force acting upon it of m 9.80 N (correct to 3 significant figures). This is the weight of the bodythe vertical force required to lift it or to prevent it from falling.

2 2 determinants and their use in solving simultaneous equations
There is another method for solving simultaneous linear equations that is applicable to all such equations and often saves a lot of time. Once learnt, this method is very concise, very simple to use and provides less opportunity for careless error. However (there is always a catch, of course), there are a few facts that you will have to learn first.

Matrices and 3 determinants
D1 Matrices: introduction
Matrices can be used, among other purposes, to solve simultaneous equations provided we define their operations (e.g. addition and multiplication) in special ways. The interest in and use of matrices has increased greatly since the introduction of computers because their operations are easy to program on a computer. Manually, for example, it is usually quicker to solve simultaneous equations using determinants. However, with a computer, matrices are much easier to use, regardless of how many variables are involved.
A matrix is a set of numbers (called elements) arranged in a rectangular pattern (or array) of rows and columns. A determinant, as we have seen in Appendix C, is such an array distinguished by vertical bars at each side. To distinguish a matrix, the array is enclosed in parentheses, either round or square. For example, 2 1 2 1 2 is a determinant, which has the value 5, but or 3 4 3 4 3 which does not have a value. A matrix does not represent a number. 1 is a matrix, 4
If a matrix has a rows and b columns, it is said to be an a b matrix or to have an order of a b. A matrix of order a 1 is called a column matrix. A matrix of order 1 b is called a row matrix.

D2 Some definitions and laws

Equal matrices
Two matrices are said to be equal if, and only if, they are identical in every respectthat is, the elements of each are the same and in the same positions.
Example
If a b c d 2 1 4 , then a 3 2, b 4, c 1, d 3.
108
The sum or difference of two matrices

These are found by adding or subtracting the corresponding elements of each matrix.
Example
a b c d e f 5 2 3 4 1 0 g h i j k l 3 5 3 1 0 2 a d g b j e 2 0 3 3 h c k f 1 2 i l
Note: Two matrices can be added or subtracted only when they have the same order (i.e. they must have the same number of rows and the same number of columns; they must have the same shape). The resulting sum or difference will also have the same order.
From the definition, it can be seen that A
A (the commutative law for addition).
The zero matrix

For matrix A the zero matrix, O, is defined to be the matrix such that A law of addition of zero). The letter O is used to denote a zero matrix. O O A A (the
Example
The zero matrix of a b c 0 is d e f 0 0 0 0 . 0 The zero matrix of 2 0 3 0 is 5 0 0 . 0
Note: The matrix O is not the number zero but is the matrix of the same order as A, which has the number 0 for each of its elements.
Multiplication by a constant
By definition, a matrix is multiplied by a constant by multiplying every element of the matrix by that constant.

D3 Multiplication of matrices
Since a matrix is simply an array (arrangement) of numbers in a rectangular pattern and does not have a value, we can define the product of two matrices in any way we choose. For the purposes of explanation, the rows and columns of a matrix will be designated as shown in the matrix below: the rows being called R1, R2, R3 . . . and the columns C1, C2 . . . . Any particular element of a matrix can be identified by stating its row and its column. C1 C2 C3 R1 3 6 7 , R1C3 7, R1C1 3 and R2C2 5. For example, in the matrix R2 2 5 4 By definition, when two matrices are multiplied, the product is another matrix and regardless of how many rows and columns the matrices may possess, when the elements in Rn of the first
110 Mathematics for Technicians
matrix are multiplied in succession by the elements of Cm of the second matrix and these products are added, this gives element RnCm of the product matrix. When put into words this definition seems very complicated but some illustrations and some practice should enable you to gain facility with this process. Ignoring all the other rows and columns that may be present: C2 4 0 5 2 7 1 In the product matrix, element R3C2

You are advised to practise this process until it becomes quite familiar to you. Below are some exercises to enable you to practise the multiplication of two matrices. You will quickly discover the benefit of using fingers or a pen to obscure the rows and columns not being used to obtain a particular element of the product matrix.

D4 Compatibility
By now it has probably become clear to you that multiplication of two matrices is only possible when there are the same number of elements in any row of the first matrix as there are in any column of the second matrix, i.e. the product mAn pBq C exists only when n p, that is, only when the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix. When, and only when, this is so, the matrices are said to be compatible for this multiplication. If n p, the matrices cannot be multiplied and are said to be incompatible for this operation.

The principal diagonal of a square matrix is the diagonal that runs from the top left-hand corner to the bottom right-hand corner. The square matrix, which has the number 1 for each element on the principal diagonal and all other elements zero, plays a very special role in the theory of matrices. 1 0 is called the identity matrix of order 2, and is specified as I2. 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 is called the identity matrix of order 3, and is specified as I3. 1 n), An In In An.

In plays the same role in matrix theory as unity does in arithmetic (e.g. 7 1 1 7 7), and so it is called the unit matrix, Un or the identity matrix, In.

Most square matrices have an inverse, but not all of them. (Actually it can be shown that all square matrices have an inverse except those for which the determinant A 0.) A matrix that has an inverse is said to be invertible.
Summary

If A B B A I, then A and B are inverses of each other (i.e. A B1 and B A1). A non-square matrix cannot have an inverse. Most, but not all, square matrices have an inverse (i.e. they are invertible).
Note: You are not required to be able to find the inverse A1 of a given matrix A, but you should be able to determine whether or not two given matrices A and B are inverses of each other by testing whether AB BA I.

Note: Although you are not required to be able to find the inverse of a given matrix, you may be interested in a quick way to write down the inverse of a 2 2 matrix: If A a b , then A c d

1 A
d c
b a .
To obtain A1: a interchange the elements on the principal diagonal; b reverse the signs of the elements on the secondary diagonal; c divide by the determinant of the original matrix.
Example
If A 4 2 3 , then A 1 4 2 ( 4) 2 1 2 0.5 1 3 4 1.5 2 3 1 ( 6)
Note:
This method does not work for 3
3 matrices or higher orders.
If A 0, the matrix A has no inverse (because division by zero is not defined). Therefore, the matrix is not invertible.
D7 The algebra of matrices

As a result of the definitions of the operations of matrices, the laws for the algebra of matrices are mostly the same as the laws for the algebra of real numbers.

(A is the multiplicative inverse of A) k(A B) (A B)k A(B (B C) C)A kA Ak AB BA kB Bk AC CA
Remember:
O, the zero matrix for matrix A, has been defined as the matrix with the same order as A but having all its elements zeros. I, the identity matrix for matrix A, has been defined for square matrices only, being the matrix having the same order as A, with all the elements on the principal diagonal being 1 and all the other elements being zero. A1, the inverse of matrix A, has been defined for square matrices only, being the matrix such that AA1 A1A I. The only matrices that have an inverse are square matrices whose determinant 0.
Hence, most algebraic operations with matrices are already quite familiar to us.

However, there is a difference between the algebra for matrices and the algebra for real numbers when we are multiplying because, as we have already noted, in general: A B B A.
(You are reminded that this statement does not mean that they can never be equal but that we cannot assume they are equal, because usually they are not equal.) Hence, care must be taken to maintain the correct order of matrices when multiplying. For example, A(B C) (B C)A and ABA1 A1AB (which would equal B).
The only occasion when multiplying matrices is commutative is when they are inverses of one another (AA1 A1A [ I]) or when one of them is the identity matrix (AI IA [ A]).
Example
Make K the subject of the equation AK We proceed thus: AK A (AK) (A1A)K K

By now you will have realised that the solution to any system of simultaneous equations is: U C1 K
where: U is the matrix formed by the unknowns; C is the matrix formed by the coefficients; K is the matrix formed by the constants.
Hence, matrices provide a general method for solving any number, n, of simultaneous equations with n unknowns. A computer program can easily be designed for this purpose.
Note: Although a solution can be set out very concisely using the above formula, in an examination a student should show every step of the solution.

D10 3 3 determinants: definition and evaluation
a b c d e f is a square array of elements having three rows and three columns. It is called a g h i 3 3 determinant or a determinant of third order.
In Appendix C the value of a second order determinant was defined so that it provided a shorthand method of solving two simultaneous equations in two unknowns. The value of a third order determinant is defined so that it provides a shorthand method of solving three simultaneous equations in three unknowns. The value of the above determinant is defined as aei bfg cdh gec hfa idb. There are several ways of obtaining this result without having the very difficult task of committing it to memory. We will use the method called the Rule of Sarrus. This method is the simplest but it applies only to determinants of order three. (Later, when you study determinants of higher orders, you will learn other methods and ones that are easier to program for a computer.)
The Rule of Sarrus

Write down the determinant, repeating the first two columns. Obtain the products on the diagonals as shown below. Add the lower products and add the upper products.

D11 Solutions of simultaneous linear equations using 3 3 determinants

However, this method is usually very tedious and the equations are more easily solved using determinants. a1x b1y c1z d1 The general equations are: a2x b2y c2z d2 a3x b3y c3z d3 If we solve these equations by elimination we obtain the solution: x y z x , y , z

b1 b2 b3 b1 b2 b3 d1 d2 d3
c1 c2 , which is the determinant formed by using the coefficients on the c3 left-hand side of the equation; c1 c2 , which is the same determinant but with the coefficients of x c3 replaced by the constants (i.e. the numbers on the right-hand side); c1 c2 , which is again but with the coefficients of y replaced by the c3 constants;

Points to note After much practice, the value of a determinant can be found on a calculator, using the Rule of Sarrus, showing no intermediate results. The diagonal products can be summed using the M and M keys. However, for the time being, you are advised to write down the product of each diagonal before adding it to the calculator memory, as in the examples given. This allows you to check your work more easily and also allows for credit to be given in an examination for knowledge of the method even if an error is made during the computation. When you have solved a set of simultaneous equations, check your result by substituting your values back into the original equations. You will be surprised how often careless errors are made during a long series of calculations. When using a calculator, always work with all the significant figures in the data. State your result to the appropriate number of significant figures, that is, the number required or justified.
Hints:
Before using the Rule of Sarrus to solve a set of simultaneous equations, make sure that:
i ii
all the equations have the pronumerals in the same order; all the pronumerals are on the left-hand sides of the equations and all the constants are on the right-hand sides; example, if there is no y in an equation, write it in as 0y.
iii if a pronumeral is absent from an equation, write it in with a zero coefficientfor
When copying down an array to work on, be careful to place the elements in a neat rectangle so that the diagonal elements are approximately in straight lines. An untidy array leads to errors in computation. Before working on your arrays, check that you have made no errors, especially by omitting any negative signs. Discover any errors before you start to multiply. When multiplying out diagonals, either mentally or with a calculator, ignore any negative signs present. Decide after the multiplication whether the product should be positive or negative.
