Mathematical Symbols - Logical and General Reasoning

Mathematical Symbols are very important to learn mathematics, on using symbols we can easily understand the concepts of topics. 

Generally, Mathematical Symbols can be categorized on their importance in the following ways:

  1. Mathematics symbols - Number
  2. Mathematics symbols Basic
  3. Mathematics symbols - Algebraic
  4. Mathematics symbols - Geometric
  5. Mathematics symbols - Trigonometry
  6. Mathematics symbols - Set Theory
  7. Mathematics symbols - Statistics & Probability
  8. Mathematics symbols - Calculus And Analysis
  9. Mathematics symbols - Logical and Reasoning
  10. Mathematics symbols - Roman
  11. Mathematics symbols Greek
  12. Mathematics symbols Miscellaneous
Now we shall learn /discuss ninth topic Mathematics symbols - Logical and Reasoning on this post.

Mathematical symbols - Logical and Reasoning

 These are very important Basic Tools frequently used by us not only in computer, Set theory, statistics and Probability but also in Operation Research,  Management as well as in other branches of pure & applied mathematical sciences and engineering.

6

Material implication

Implies

or

if … then

a = 3 ⇒ a2 = 9 is true but vice versa is not true since a2 = 9 a = 3 or -3.

7

Material Equivalence

 iff (if and only if)

a ⇔ b

it means both ways are correct it is valid if a & b both are true or both are false.

a +10 =b + 100 ⇔ a = b + 90
