Elements of Mathematical Language has nouns, pronouns, verbs and sentences has own vocabulary, grammar, syntax, synonyms, sentence structure, negations, paragraph structure, conventions and abbreviations specially design so that one can write about numbers, sets, functions, equations, etc. as well as processes undergone by these elements
Characteristics of the Language of Mathematics Precise able to make very fine distinctions 2. Concise - able to say thoughts briefly 3. Powerful - able to express complex thoughts with relative ease
Logic Statements Every language contains different types of sentences, such as statements, questions and commands. Example “ Is the test today ?” is a question. “ Go get the newspaper ” is a command. “ This is a nice car ” is an opinion. “ Tacloban is the capital of Eastern Visayas ” is a statement of fact.
A statement A statement is a declarative sentence that is either true or false. But not both true and false. Example: Eastern Samar State University is located in Borongan .
Determine whether each sentence is a statement. Llorente is municipality in Eastern Samar. How are you? 9 9 + 2 is a prime number. x + 1 = 5
Simple Statement and Compound Statement A simple statement is a statement that conveys a single idea. A compound statement is a statement that conveys two or more ideas. Connecting simple statements with words and phrases such as and , or , if…then , and if and only if creates a compound statement. Example: “I will attend the meeting or I will go to school.”
Determine the simple statements in each compound statement. The principal will attend the class on Tuesday or Wednesday. 5 is an odd number and 6 is an even number. A triangle is an acute triangle if and only if it has three acute angles.
George Boole used symbols such as p, q, r, and s to represent simple statements and the symbol Λ , V, ~, →, ↔ to represent connectives. LOGIC CONNECTIVES AND SYMBOLS Statement Connective Symbolic form Type of statement not p not ~ p negation p and q and p Λ q conjunction p or q Or p V q disjunction If p, then q If…then p → q conditional p if and only if q if and only if p ↔ q bi-conditional

Compound statements and Grouping Symbols If compound statement is written in symbolic form, then parentheses are used to indicate which simple statements are grouped together. The table below illustrates the use of parentheses to indicate groupings for some statements in symbolic form. Symbolic Form The parentheses indicate that: p Λ (q V ~ r) q and ~ r are grouped together. (p Λ q) V r p and q are grouped together. (p Λ ~ q) → (r V s) p and ~ q are grouped together. r and s are grouped together.
Compound statements and Grouping Symbols If compound statement is written as English sentence, then a comma is used to indicate which simple statements are grouped together. Statements on the same side of a comma are grouped together. English sentence The comma indicates that: p, and q or not r. q and ~ r are grouped together because they are both on the same side of he comma. p and q, or r. p and q are grouped together because they are both on the same side of he comma. If p and not q, then r or s. p and ~ q are grouped together because they are both to the left of he comma. r and s are grouped together because they are both to the right of the comma.

Write (p Λ q) → r as an English sentence Ans. If you get a promotion and you complete the training, then you will receive a bonus. 2. If you do not complete the training, then you will not get the promotion and you will not receive a bonus. Ans. ~q → (~p Λ ~ r)
