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:
Formally the law of non-contradiction is written as ¬(P ∧ ¬P) and read as "it is not the case that a proposition is both true and false". The law of non-contradiction neither follows nor is implied by the principle of Proof by contradiction. The laws of excluded middle and non-contradiction together mean that exactly one of P and ¬P is true.
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).
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.
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.
Some systems of classical logic include dedicated symbols for false (0 or ), while others instead rely upon formulas such as p ∧ ¬ p and ¬(p → p). In both Boolean logic and Classical logic systems, true and false are opposite with respect to negation ; the negation of false gives true, and the negation of true gives false.
