Study Notes

Math Symbols in Abstract Algebra

A' denotes the complement of set A, consisting of elements not included in A.
Ɐ symbolizes "for all," indicating universality in a logical context.
V represents the logical operation "or," used to express alternatives.
∧ signifies "and," indicating a conjunction or combination of conditions.
∃ stands for "there exists," used in existential statements in mathematical contexts.
∋ translates to "such that," often used in set definitions or conditions.
∈ denotes "is an element of," indicating membership of an element within a set.
! indicates uniqueness, asserting that there is exactly one element satisfying a condition.
⇒ represents implication, denoting logical relationships in the form "if ____, then ____."
⇔ signifies biconditional truth, expressed as "if and only if," indicating an equivalence.
∴ is used to denote "therefore," often preceding a conclusion drawn from premises.
∎ or QED signifies the end of a proof, indicating that the argument is complete.
f:A→B indicates that f is a function mapping elements from set A to set B.
⊆ means "is a subset of," implying all elements of a set are contained within a larger set.
⊊ signifies a "proper subset," where a set is contained in another set but is not equal to it.
ℝ represents the set of all real numbers, encompassing both rational and irrational numbers.
ℤ denotes the set of integers, including both positive and negative whole numbers.
Z+ indicates the set of positive integers, excluding negatives and zero.
∪ symbolizes the union of sets, combining elements from two or more sets.
∩ denotes the intersection of sets, representing common elements shared between them.
ℚ is the set of rational numbers, which consists of numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
ℂ represents the set of complex numbers, encompassing numbers expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers.
