Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Mathematical statements

  • A statement is a meaningful sentence that is not an order, an exclamation, or a question.
  • A statement can be always true, always false, or ambiguous.
  • Only always true and always false sentences count as mathematical statements.
2

2. Deductive reasoning

  • Deductive reasoning starts from given premises or hypotheses and draws a logical conclusion.
  • The truth of the conclusion depends on the truth of the hypotheses.
  • A proof uses valid arguments in a correct sequence.
3

3. Conjectures and counter-examples

  • A conjecture is an intelligent guess based on patterns.
  • Checking many cases does not prove a conjecture true for all cases.
  • A single counter-example is enough to disprove a statement.
4

4. Direct proof and proof by exhaustion

  • A direct or deductive proof begins from given facts and reaches the conclusion step by step.
  • The sum of two rational numbers is rational.
  • If x = m/n and y = p/q, then x + y = (mq + np)/nq, which is rational because the numerator and denominator are integers and nq ≠ 0.
