2. Venn diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram

   v. t. e. A Venn diagram is a widely used diagram style that shows the logical relation between sets, popularized by John Venn (1834–1923) in the 1880s. The diagrams are used to teach elementary set theory, and to illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.

3. De Morgan's laws - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

   Existential generalization / instantiation. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1][2][3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference. They are named after Augustus De Morgan, a 19th-century British mathematician.

4. Symmetric difference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_difference

   In mathematics, the symmetric difference of two sets, also known as the disjunctive union and set sum, is the set of elements which are in either of the sets, but not in their intersection. For example, the symmetric difference of the sets and is . The symmetric difference of the sets A and B is commonly denoted by (alternatively, ), , or .

5. Intersection (set theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(set_theory)

   Set theory. Statement. The intersection of A and B is the set A ∩ B of elements that lie in both set A and set B . Symbolic statement. A ∩ B = {x: x ∈ A and x ∈ B} In set theory, the intersection of two sets and denoted by 1 is the set containing all elements of that also belong to or equivalently, all elements of that also belong to 2.

6. Exclusive or - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_or

   Exclusive or. Exclusive or, exclusive disjunction, exclusive alternation, logical non-equivalence, or logical inequality is a logical operator whose negation is the logical biconditional. With two inputs, XOR is true if and only if the inputs differ (one is true, one is false). With multiple inputs, XOR is true if and only if the number of true ...

7. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

   Venn diagram showing the union of sets A and B as everything not in white. In combinatorics, a branch of mathematics, the inclusion–exclusion principle is a counting technique which generalizes the familiar method of obtaining the number of elements in the union of two finite sets; symbolically expressed as

8. Converse (logic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_(logic)

   In logic and mathematics, the converse of a categorical or implicational statement is the result of reversing its two constituent statements. For the implication P → Q, the converse is Q → P. For the categorical proposition All S are P, the converse is All P are S. Either way, the truth of the converse is generally independent from that of ...

9. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

   The least common multiple of the denominators of two fractions is the " lowest common denominator " (lcd), and can be used for adding, subtracting or comparing the fractions. The least common multiple of more than two integers a, b, c, . . . , usually denoted by lcm (a,b,c, . . .), is defined as the smallest positive integer that is divisible ...
