The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [1] and the LaTeX symbol.
The glyph of the up tack appears as an upside-down tee symbol, and as such is sometimes called eet (the word "tee" in reverse). [citation needed] Tee plays a complementary or dual role in many of these theories. The similar-looking perpendicular symbol ( , \perp in LaTeX, U+27C2 in Unicode) is a binary relation symbol used to represent:
Deutsch: Dieses Dokument listet 20323 Symbole und die dazugehörigen LaTeX-Befehle auf. Manche Symbole sind in jedem LaTeX-2ε-System verfügbar; andere benötigen zusätzliche Schriftarten oder Pakete, die nicht notwendig in jeder Distribution mitgeliefert werden und daher selbst installiert werden müssen.
In modern formal logic and type theory, the term is mainly used instead for a single proposition, often denoted by the falsum symbol ; a proposition is a contradiction if false can be derived from it, using the rules of the logic. It is a proposition that is unconditionally false (i.e., a self-contradictory proposition).
In logic, proof by contradiction is a form of proof that establishes the truth or the validity of a proposition by showing that assuming the proposition to be false leads to a contradiction. Although it is quite freely used in mathematical proofs, not every school of mathematical thought accepts this kind of nonconstructive proof as universally ...
A symbol used in logic to represent falsity or a contradiction, often denoted as . "Fido"-Fido principle The principle in philosophy of language suggesting that the meaning of a word is the object it refers to, exemplified by the idea that the meaning of "Fido" is the dog Fido itself.
a set of operator symbols, called connectives, [18] [1] [50] logical connectives, [1] logical operators, [1] truth-functional connectives, [1] truth-functors, [37] or propositional connectives. [ 2 ] A well-formed formula is any atomic formula, or any formula that can be built up from atomic formulas by means of operator symbols according to ...
The tee (⊤, \top in LaTeX), also called down tack (as opposed to the up tack) or verum, [1] is a symbol used to represent: . The top element in lattice theory.; The truth value of being true in logic, or a sentence (e.g., formula in propositional calculus) which is unconditionally true.
