  2. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or expressions, stating that they have the same value, or represent the same mathematical object. [1] [2] Equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced "A equals B". In this equality, A and B are distinguished by calling them left-hand side (LHS), and right-hand side ...

    False equivalence – describing two or more statements as virtually equal when they are not. Feedback fallacy – believing in the objectivity of an evaluation to be used as the basis for improvement without verifying that the source of the evaluation is a disinterested party.

    3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1. Means "less than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≤ B is equivalent to A < B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a subgroup of the second one. ≥ 1. Means "greater than or equal to".

    For any combination of true/false values for P and Q, the left and right sides of the arrow will hold the same truth value after evaluation. The three Laws of thought are: The law of identity: 'Whatever is, is.' [19] For all a: a = a. The law of non-contradiction (alternately the 'law of contradiction' [20]): 'Nothing can both be and not be.' [19]

  6. Logical equality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_equality

    Logical equality is an operation on two logical values, typically the values of two propositions, that produces a value of true if and only if both operands are false or both operands are true. The truth table of p EQ q (also written as p = q, p ↔ q, Epq, p ≡ q, or p == q) is as follows: The Venn diagram of A EQ B (red part is true)

    A line is expressed as the intersection of two planes, that is as the solution set of a single linear equation with values in or as the solution set of two linear equations with values in . A conic section is the intersection of a cone with equation x 2 + y 2 = z 2 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}=z^{2}} and a plane.

  8. Equals sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equals_sign

    The equals sign (British English) or equal sign (American English), also known as the equality sign, is the mathematical symbol =, which is used to indicate equality in some well-defined sense. [1] In an equation, it is placed between two expressions that have the same value, or for which one studies the conditions under which they have the ...

  9. False equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

    In an even more fallacious version, d is not required to exist in both sets; merely a similarity of two items d 1 in set A and d 2 in set B is cited to assert equivalence among the sets. [3] Example: If apples and oranges are both fruits, and there are seeds in both apples and oranges, then since they both contain seeds, apples and oranges are ...
