Study Notes
Mathematical Language
- Mathematical language uses expressions and sentences. Expressions consist of operations and terms.
- Mathematical sentences include operations, terms, and the equality (=), inequality (>, <, ≥, ≤) symbols.
- Mathematical expressions are like nouns in English as they do not express a complete thought.
- Variables, represented by letters, represent unknown quantities in expressions.
- Coefficients are numbers multiplying variables.
- Constants are numbers that remain unchanged in an expression.
- Variables can take on various values.
Sets
- Sets are collections of elements.
- Three methods for representing sets include builder notation, roster/tabular method, and rule/descriptive method.
- "Cardinality" represents the number of elements in a set.
Relationships Between Sets
- Union: Combines elements from two or more sets. The keyword is "or".
- Intersection: Includes only elements common to all sets. The keyword is "and".
- Difference: Elements in one set but not in another. The keyword is "excluding" or "but not''.
- Complement: Elements not in the set being considered.
Venn Diagrams
- Venn diagrams visually represent relationships between finite sets.
- They can be used to illustrate union, intersection, difference, and complement.
Logic: Negation, Disjunction, Conjunction, Implication, Biconditional
- Negation: Opposite of a proposition. The keywords are "not" or "¬".
- Disjunction: At least one of the propositions must be true. The keyword is "or".
- Conjunction: Both propositions must be true. Keywords include "and", "but", "while", "yet", and "still".
- Implication/Conditional: If the premise is true, then the conclusion is true. The keywords are "If...then".
- Biconditional: Both propositions must have the same truth value (both true or both false). The keywords are "if and only if".
Truth Tables
- Used to determine the truth value of compound propositions.
- Truth values are represented by "T" (true) or "F" (false).
- The number of rows in a truth table is determined by 2^n, where 'n' is the number of simple propositions.
