MATHEMATICSFORMULAS
AND SUMMARIES
, SYMBOLS
S.I units are used in the K.C.S.E four year course including the symbols +, −, ×, ÷, ± could also be used. The
following rational symbols are important both in mathematics and physics:
= Is equal to
≠ Is not equal to
> Is greater than
≥ Is greater than or equal to
< Is less than
≤ Is less than or equal to
a: b Ratio of a to b
∝ Varies as
≡ Is congruent to or identical to
≃ Approximately equal to
- Is equivalent
⇒ Implies
∴ Therefore
