A textbook well suited for study as well as for self study.
All subjects for high School are included – and more.
This textbook is meant to be:
• Your math companion for upper secondary school, high school, and the first
semester(s) of study.
• Textbook for high school or similar as well as the first semester(s) of study.
• Textbook which should be supplemented by the accompanying exercise book
“WorldMathBook, Exercises” as well as a formula collection.
The book is independent of which formula collection is used. You can use the book
without a formula collection, but it will be harder.
The book is also independent of using a calculator or a calculator program. You can
use the book without a calculator, but it will be much harder.
The demands for a calculator/calculator program are:
Part 1. All calculators/programs.
Part 2. Calculators/programs with functions, - almost all kinds have that. Part 3.
Advanced calculators/programs able to differentiate and integrate and for
plotting curves in diagrams.
Part 4. The setup of vectors is not beneficial using calculators/programs, but if so, an
advanced calculator/program is necessary.
Part 5. Advanced calculators/programs for regression.
We start with the four basic arithmetic operations, and finish in the first or second
semester of the study for bachelor or candidate.
The language is clear, understanding is in focus, and technical terms are explained.
Overall Content:
This textbook (as well as the exercise book) is divided into five parts:
1. Basics
2. The coordinate system in the plane (2D) and functions
3. Differentiation and integration
4. Vectors
5. Statistics (including Probability)
Also, at the end we present “Numbers and Complex numbers”, and some “Rarely
used proofs and calculations”.
Finally, we present a detailed Subject index.

two unknowns
Functions and proportionality
Intervals and inequalities
Imaginary numbers, briefly
Part 4. Vectors

plane, Distance point-plane, The straight line in the space, Distance between skewed
lines, Distance point-line, Distance between two parallel planes, Angle between two
planes, Angle between line and plane

The normal distribution, variance and standard deviation
Goodness of fit (Chi to the power of two - testing)
Regression, Linear - , Power - , Exponential -
Probability and combination, Introduction, Theory, Examples
Binomial distribution, random sample, and confidence interval
Notations and technical terms
Percent
Percent means ”out of a hundred”, which means a fraction with 100 as the
denominator.
1
means 1 out of 2. If we multiply by 50 in the numerator and denominator we get
2
50
or 50 out of 100 or 50%. In brief:
100
50
= 50%
100
Examples
1 20 · 1 20
= = = 20%
5 20 · 5 100
1 12,5 · 1 12,5
= = = 12,5%
8 12,5 · 8 100
1 25
= = 25%
4 100
but they can be called other things. In physics the first axis could be t for time, and
the second axis could be v for velocity (velox in…
Volumes
We can rotate a 2D area around the x or y-axis and have a 3D volume.
The formula for rotation around the x-axis derives
y
dx f(x)
x
a b
If we rotate our infinitesimally thin strip around the x-axis we have a micro cylinder.
A macro cylinder has the volume
V = 𝜋· r2 · l l for length
Thus, the volume can be calculated when we have an expression of the function,
which informs how the radius varies.
