Study Notes

Logic and Theory of Sets

  • Logic: A tool for reasoning about the truth and falsity of mathematical statements.
  • Statement/Proposition: An assertion that is either true or false, but never both simultaneously.
    • Example: "1 + 0 = 1" is a true statement.
    • Example: "x≤ 9" is not a statement as x is not specified.
  • Truth Value: Assigned to a statement, denoted by T (true) or F (false).
  • Compound Statements: Formed by joining statements using logical connectors.
  • Logical Connectors:
    • Negation (˥P):
      • True when P is false.
      • False when P is true.
    • Conjunction (P∧Q):
      • True when both P and Q are true.
      • False otherwise.
    • Disjunction (PVQ):
      • False when both P and Q are false.
      • True otherwise.
    • Implication (P⇒Q):
      • False when P is true and Q is false.
      • True otherwise.
    • Equivalence (P⇔Q):
      • True when P and Q have the same truth value.
      • False otherwise.
  • Tautology: A compound statement that is always true, regardless of the truth values of its component statements.
  • Contradiction: A compound statement that is always false, regardless of the truth values of its component statements.
  • Principle of Non-Contradiction: The statement P ∧ ˥P is a contradiction.
  • Law of the Excluded Middle: The statement P ∨ ˥P is a tautology.

Sets

  • Set: An unordered collection of distinct objects (elements/members).
  • Set Membership: x ∈ A, means x is an element of A. x ∉ A means x is not an element of A.
  • Extensional Definition of a Set: Listing all elements within braces.
  • Intentional Definition of a Set: Defining the elements via a property.
    • Example: {x ∈ Ν / 1 ≤ x ≤ 7}
  • Singleton: A set with exactly one element.
  • Doubleton: A set with exactly two elements.
  • Tripleton: A set with exactly three elements.
  • Empty Set: A set with no elements (denoted by Ø).
  • Subset (A ⊆ B): Every element in A is also in B.
  • Proper Subset (A ⊂ B): A ⊆ B and A ≠ B (A is a subset of B but not equal to B).
  • Power Set (P(A)): The set of all subsets of A.

Operations on Sets

  • Intersection (A ∩ B): Elements belonging to both A and B.
  • Union (A ∪ B): Elements belonging to A or B (or both).
  • Disjoint Sets (A ∩ B = Ø): Sets with no common elements.
  • Relative Complement (CSA or A – B): Elements in S but not in A.
  • Equality of Sets (A = B): If two sets A and B have the same elements.

Mappings/Functions

  • Correspondence: A relationship from a set A to a set B.

  • Mapping/Function: A correspondence from A to B where, for every element of A, there is a unique corresponding element in B.

  • Image (f(x)): The element in B associated with x in A.

  • Preimage: elements in A which correspond to a given element in B

  • Restriction of a function: A function defined only on a subset of the domain

  • Identity Mapping (IdA): Each element maps to itself.

  • Image or range of f (Imf): The set of all images of elements in A.

  • Injective (Injection): Each element in the codomain has at most one preimage in the domain

  • Surjective (Surjection): Each element in the codomain has at least one preimage in the domain

  • Bijective: Both injective and surjective

  • Composite Mapping (go f): The output of g applied to the output of f.

Subsets and Power Set

  • Subset: A set A is a subset of a set B if every element of A is also an element of B.
  • Proper subset: A is a proper subset of B if A is a subset of B and A is not equal to B.
  • Power set: the power set of a set is the set of all subsets of that set.

Methods of Proof

  • Direct Proof: Assume the premise is true, and show that the conclusion is also true.
  • Proof by Contraposition: Prove the contrapositive of the implication.
  • Proof by Contradiction: Assume the negation of the statement is true, and derive a contradiction.
