Topics in Mathematical and Logical Reasoning

1

Mathematical Statements

  • A mathematical statement is a sentence that is either true or false, but not both
  • Statements are denoted by small letters p, q, r, etc.
  • Ambiguous sentences like 'Mathematics is fun' are NOT mathematical statements
2

Negation and Compound Statements

  • Negation of statement p is denoted by ~p (read as 'not p')
  • If p is true, then ~p is false, and vice versa
  • Compound statements are formed using connectives: AND, OR, IF-THEN, IF AND ONLY IF
3

Implications and Conditionals

  • IF-THEN statement: 'If p then q' is denoted as p ⇒ q
  • Contrapositive of 'If p then q' is 'If ~q then ~p'
  • Converse of 'If p then q' is 'If q then p'
4

Validation Methods

  • Direct method: Assume p is true, prove q is true
  • Contrapositive method: Assume q is false, prove p is false
  • Method of contradiction: Assume opposite and reach contradiction
