Applied Mathematics Study Notes

Prepared for academic study and reference.


Table of Contents
1. Pythagorean Theorem
2. Probability Basics
1. Pythagorean Theorem
Definition
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other
two sides.

Worked Example
If a=3, b=4, then c² = 3² + 4² = 25, so c=5.

Applications
Used in construction, navigation, physics, and computer graphics.

Practice Problems
1. Find c if a=5, b=12. 2. Find b if a=8, c=17.
2. Probability Basics
Definition
Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring, expressed between 0 and 1.

Example
Rolling a 6 on a fair die: 1/6 ≈ 0.1667.

Applications
Used in statistics, risk assessment, and machine learning models.

Practice Problems
1. Probability of flipping two heads in a row. 2. Probability of drawing an ace from a
52-card deck.
