Notion of a set
M N ( x : x M = x N ) M subset of N (inclusion)
M N ( x N : x
/ M) M proper subset of N
P(M ) = {X | X M } power set, set of all subsets
of the set M
Properties:
M M reflexivity
M N N P = M P transitivity
M M is a subset of any set
Equality of sets
M = N ( x : x M x N ) equality
Properties:
M N N M M = N order property
M =M reflexivity
M = N = N = M symmetry
M = N N = P = M = P transitivity

Rules for operations with sets 5
M (N M ) = M M (N M ) = M
M (N P ) = (M N ) P M (N P ) = (M N ) P
M (N P ) = (M N ) (M P )
M (N P ) = (M N ) (M P )
M \ (M \ N ) = M N
M \ (N P ) = (M \ N ) (M \ P )
M \ (N P ) = (M \ N ) (M \ P )
(M N ) \ P = (M \ P ) (N \ P )
(M N ) \ P = (M \ P ) (N \ P )

The elements of X1 . . . Xn , i. e. (x1 , . . . , xn ), are called n-tuples, for
n = 2 pairs, for n = 3 triples; especially IR2 denotes all pairs, IRn all n-tuples
of real numbers (vectors with n components).
Mappings (relations)
AX Y mapping from X to Y ; subset of
the cross product of the sets X
and Y
DA = {x X | y : (x, y) A} domain of A
WA = {y Y | x : (x, y) A} range of A
1
A = {(y, x) | (x, y) A} reciprocal mapping; mapping in-
verse to the mapping A
Let (x, y) A. Then y is an element associated with the element x. A
mapping A from X to Y is called single-valued if for any element x X there
is only one element y Y associated with x. A single-valued mapping is called
a function f . The mapping rule is denoted by y = f (x). If both the mapping
A and the inverse mapping A1 (inverse function f 1 ) are single-valued, then
A (and f , resp.) are called one-to-one mapping (function).
Linear mapping
f (x + y) = f (x) + f (y) defining property of a linear mapping
(function), , IR
The composition h(x) = g(f (x)) of two linear mappings (e. g. f : IRn IRm
and g : IRm IRp ) is again a linear mapping (h : IRn IRp ) denoted by
h = g f.
Propositional calculus 7
Propositional calculus
The determination of a truth value of a sentence form p(x) can also take
place by means of the universal quantifier ( x : p(x); in words: for all x
the sentence p(x) expresses a true proposition) or the existential quantifier
( x : p(x); in words: there is an x for which p(x) is true).
Compound propositions
The combination of propositions leads to new proposition defined with the
help of truth tables. Compound propositions are unary relations (negation),
dyadic relations (see the following table) or polyadic relations consisting of
the operators , , , =, .
A tautology is always true, a contradiction is always false (independent of
the truth value of the partial sentences).
negation p (not p) p p
t f
f t
Relation read p t t f f
q t f t f
conjunction p and q pq t f f f
disjunction p or q pq t t t f
implication p implies q p = q t f t t
equivalence p equivalent to q p q t f f t

Basis of the induction: The validity of the proposition A(n) is shown for
some initial value (usually n = 0 or n = 1).
Induction hypothesis: It is assumed that A(n) is true for n = k.
Induction step: Using the induction hypothesis, the validity of A(n) is
proved for n = k + 1.
