> *Definition*: a statement is a sentence that is either true or false, never both.

> *Definition* **- Logical operators**: let $A$ and $B$ be assertions.
|

> * The assertion $A$ and $B$ ($A \land B$) is true, iff both $A$ and $B$ are true.
|
||||
> * The assertion $A$ or $B$ ($A \lor B$) is true, iff at least one of $A$ and $B$ is true.

# Mathematics

|

Welcome to the mathematics page.
|
||||
Welcome to the mathematics page. Some special mathematical environments that will be used in this section are listed and explained below.
|
||||
|
||||
* *Definitions* : a precise and unambiguous description of the meaning of a mathematical term. It char-
|
||||
acterizes the meaning of a word by giving all the properties and only those properties that must be
|
||||
true.
|
||||
* *Theorems* : a mathematical statement that is proved to be true using rigorous mathematical reasoning. In
|
||||
a mathematical text, the term theorem is often reserved for the most important results.
|
||||
* *Propositions* : an often interesting result, but generally less important than a theorem.
|
||||
* *Lemmas* : a minor result whose purpose is to help in proving a theorem. It is a stepping stone on the path
|
||||
to proving a theorem.
|
||||
* *Corollaries* : a result in which the (usually short) proof relies heavily on a given theorem (we often say
|
||||
that this is a corollary to Theorem A).
|
||||
* *Proofs* : a convincing argument that a certain mathematical statement is necessarily true. A proof
|
||||
generally uses deductive reasoning and logic but also contains some amount of ordinary language.
|
||||
* *Examples* : examples help to understand the meaning of a definition, or the impact of a result.
|
||||
* *Algorithms* : recipes to do calculations.
