Symbols and Translation: Conditional Implication
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to translate and symbolize conditional implication. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to solve problems with conditional implication for reference.
OverviewThere are two types of implication, conditional and biconditional. This section focuses on conditional. Conditional implication is when a statement implies another statement by using the terms “only if”, “on the condition that”, and “implies”. There are two parts to an implication statement, the antecedent and the consequent. The antecedent implies the consequent. Implication is represented by a symbol that looks like =>. When the antecendent is true, and the consequent is false, then the statement is false. For all other conditions the statement is true.

Symbols and Translation: Negation
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to translate and symbolize negation. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to solve problems with negation for reference.
Overview
Negation is a term used in discrete math that refers to the negation or opposite of a statement, which is represented by the ~ symbol before the statement or letter representing the statement. Negation will change a true statement into a false statement, or a false statement into a true statement. When used in statements instead of letters, the implication of a statement is changed instead of the statement itself.

Symbols and Translation: Conjunction
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to translate and symbolize conjunction. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to solve problems with conjunction for reference.
Overview
Conjunction is a term used in discrete math that refers to the and statement, which is represented by a symbol that looks a little like the letter A. Conjunction is used when a statement is split into two parts that are being compared to each other. If both the first part of the statement and the second part of the statement are true, then conjunction says that the statement is true. For any other combination, the statement is false.

Symbols and Translation: Disjunction
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to translate and symbolize disjunction. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to solve problems with disjunction for reference.
Overview
Disjunction is a term used in discrete math that refers to the or statement, which is represented by a symbol that looks like the letter V. Disjunction is used when a statement is split into two part that are being compared to each other. If both the first part of the statement and the second part of the statement are false, then disjunction says that the statement is false. For any other combination, the statement is true.
