    Study Notes

    Number Theory: Types of Numbers

    • Counting Numbers: Positive integers excluding zero (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...).
    • Whole Numbers: Positive integers including zero (e.g., 0, 1, 2, ...).
    • Integers: Whole numbers with their negative counterparts (e.g., ... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ...).
    • Rational Numbers: Numbers expressible as fractions where both numerator and denominator are integers, and the denominator is not zero (e.g., 1/2, 3/4).
    • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions and are non-terminating, non-repeating decimals (e.g., π, √2).
    • Real Numbers: All numbers encompassing both rational and irrational numbers.

    Set Theory Basics

    • Set: An unordered collection of distinct objects or elements.
    • Cardinality: The measure of the number of elements in a set, denoted by |S|.
    • Empty Set: A set with no elements, denoted by Ø.
    • Universal Set: Contains all objects under consideration.
    • Subset: Set A is a subset of set B if every element in A is also in B.

    Set Operations

    • Union (A ∪ B): The set of elements in either A or B.
    • Intersection (A ∩ B): The set of elements common to both A and B.
    • Difference (A - B): Set of elements in A but not in B.
    • Complement (Aⁿ): Elements not in set A.
    • Symmetric Difference (A ⊕ B): Elements in either A or B, but not in both.

    Venn Diagrams

    • Venn Diagram: A visual representation of sets and their relationships using circles to depict sets and their operations such as union and intersection.
    • Elements Representation: Individual elements can be represented as points within the circles of a Venn Diagram.

    Logical Connectives and Statements

    • Logical Proposition: A declarative sentence that is either true (T) or false (F).
    • Conjunction (p ^ q): True if both propositions p and q are true.
    • Disjunction (p v q): True if at least one of p or q is true.
    • Implication (p → q): If p is true, then q is true; it can be rewritten as the contrapositive: ~q → ~p.
    • Logically Equivalent: Propositions p and q are equivalent if p ↔ q is a tautology.

    Mathematical Logic

    • Mathematical Logic: The study of methods and reasoning techniques to determine the validity of arguments.
    • Tautology: A formula that is true in every possible interpretation.
    • Contingency: A compound statement that can be true or false depending on the truth values of its components.

    Discrete Mathematics Overview

    • Discrete Mathematics: A branch focusing on countable, distinct elements, crucial for computer science and data manipulation.
    • Key Areas of Study:
      • Set Theory
      • Model Theory
      • Recursion Theory
      • Proof Theory

    Application and Importance

    • Algorithmic Thinking: Formulating algorithms to solve problems, essential in programming and computer science.
    • Counting Techniques: Important for enumerating objects and analyzing discrete structures.

    Set Descriptions and Notations

    • Roster Notation: Listing elements explicitly (e.g., A = {1, 2, 3}).
    • Set Builder Notation: Defining a set based on a property (e.g., O = {x | x is an odd positive integer}).
    • Equal Sets: Two sets are equal if they contain the same elements regardless of order or repetition.
