Mathematical Symbols. he language and vocabulary of mathematics contain a large amount of symbols — some being more technical than others. Like letters in the alphabet, they can be used to form words, phrases and sentences that would constitute a larger part of the mathematical lexicon. x x + 1 ( x + 1) 2 ( x + 1) 2 ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ R [ ( x ...
Give simple examples. Solution: In mathematics and logic, the “and” symbol is represented by ∧ and the “or” symbol by ∨. Here’s a simple example using these symbols: Example 1: Statement: “It is raining and cold.”. Mathematical Expression: Let statement p represent “It is raining” and q represent “It is cold.”.
