Probability
Probability:thelikelihoodofoccurrenceofanevent.
If E is any event, then the probability of an event denoted by P(E) has a value between 0 and 1, inclusive. In

IfP(E)=0,thenEisimpossibletohappen.
Moreover,iftheprobabilitythatEwillnothappenisP(E),thenP(E)+P(E)=1.

Compound interest is different from simple interest because after the first interest calculation, the interest is added
to the principal, so interest is earned on previous interest in addition to the principal. Compound Interest rates may be
given as annual (1 time a year), semiannual (2 times a year), quarterly (4 times a year), monthly (12 times a year), and daily
(365 times a year).
Example: If P500is invested at 8% compounded semiannually, what will the final amount be after three years?
Final Amount = P[ 1 + r ]n = 500[ 1 + (8% / 2)]3 * 2 = 500[ 1 + 0.04 ]6
= 500[1.27]

MODERNGEOMETRY
NonEuclideangeometry
NonEuclidean Geometry is any geometry that is different from Euclidean geometry. The two most common non
Euclideangeometriesareellipticgeometryandhyperbolicgeometry.
A.HyperbolicGeometry
Hyperbolic geometry is known as saddle geometry or Lobachevskian geometry. It differs in many ways from Euclidean
geometry, often leading to quite counterintuitive results. Some of the remarkable consequences of this geometry's
unique fifth postulate include: Moreover, in this field, more than one distinct line through a particular point will not
intersectanothergivenline..

2. GiventwolinesperpendiculartolineCG.Bytheparallelpostulateforellipticgeometry,thesetwolinesmeetata
pointA.TheneverylinethroughAisperpendiculartolineCG.
C.ProjectiveGeometry
Projective geometry is the most general and least restrictive in the hierarchy of fundamental geometries. It is an
intrinsically nonmetric geometry, whose facts are independent of any metric structure. Under the projective
transformations,theincidencestructureandthecrossratioarepreserved.Inparticular,itformalizesoneofthecentral
principlesofperspectiveart:thatparallellinesmeetatapointcalledanidealpoint.Consequently,thefiveinitialaxioms
inEuclideanGeometryresultedtothefollowingaxioms.
1. Anytwodistinctpointsdetermineoneandonlyoneline.
2. Anytwodistinctcoplanarlinesintersectinoneandonlyonepoint.
3. Anylinenotinagivenplaneintersectstheplaneinoneandonlyonepoint.
