  2. If and only if - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_and_only_if

    The corresponding logical symbols are "", "", [6] and , [10] and sometimes "iff".These are usually treated as equivalent. However, some texts of mathematical logic (particularly those on first-order logic, rather than propositional logic) make a distinction between these, in which the first, ↔, is used as a symbol in logic formulas, while ⇔ is used in reasoning about those logic formulas ...

  3. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_(mathematics)

    For instance, to solve the inequality 4x < 2x + 1 ≤ 3x + 2, it is not possible to isolate x in any one part of the inequality through addition or subtraction. Instead, the inequalities must be solved independently, yielding x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and x ≥ −1 respectively, which can be combined into the final solution −1 ≤ x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Take each digit of the number (371) in reverse order (173), multiplying them successively by the digits 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, repeating with this sequence of multipliers as long as necessary (1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, ...), and adding the products (1×1 + 7×3 + 3×2 = 1 + 21 + 6 = 28). The original number is divisible by 7 if and only if ...

  6. Inequation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequation

    In mathematics, an inequation is a statement that an inequality holds between two values. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is usually written in the form of a pair of expressions denoting the values in question, with a relational sign between them indicating the specific inequality relation.

  7. Binary relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_relation

    All definitions tacitly require the homogeneous relation be transitive: for all ,,, if and then . A term's definition may require additional properties that are not listed in this table. In mathematics , a binary relation associates elements of one set called the domain with elements of another set called the codomain . [ 1 ]

  8. Congruent number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruent_number

    if p ≡ 3 (mod 8), then p is not a congruent number, but 2 p is a congruent number. if p ≡ 5 (mod 8), then p is a congruent number. if p ≡ 7 (mod 8), then p and 2 p are congruent numbers. It is also known that in each of the congruence classes 5, 6, 7 (mod 8), for any given k there are infinitely many square-free congruent numbers with k ...

  9. Evolutionary game theory - Wikipedia

    If a hawk meets a dove, the hawk gets the full resource V; If a hawk meets a hawk, half the time they win, half the time they lose, so the average outcome is then V/2 minus C/2; If a dove meets a hawk, the dove will back off and get nothing – 0; If a dove meets a dove, both share the resource and get V/2
