Did you all manage to get on to integral?
2
Whose has bought some exercise books?
We may change how we use them actually….
3
On with maths….

Chapter 1.2 Writing Mathematics
“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” - Albert Einstein

Implies The symbol ⇒ means ‘leads to’ or ‘Implies’.
It is used when you want to present a mathematical argument, step by step. Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem 𝑥 𝑦 𝐴 𝑂 𝐵 AOB is a straight line ⇒ ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180°
8
AOB is a straight line ∴ ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180°
Therefore Another way of expressing the same idea is to use the symbol ∴ which means ‘therefore’. Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem 𝑥 𝑦 𝐴 𝑂 𝐵 AOB is a straight line ∴ ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180°
9
If AOB is a straight line, then ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180°
If…then… A third way of writing the same thing is to use the words ‘if … then …’ Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem 𝑥 𝑦 𝐴 𝑂 𝐵 If AOB is a straight line, then ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180°
10
Is Implied By You can write the symbol ⇒ the other way round, as ⇐.
In that case it means ‘is implied by’ or ‘follows from’. Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem 𝑥 𝑦 𝐴 𝑂 𝐵 AOB is a straight line ⇐ ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180° In this case, it is still true.
11
Implies & Is Implied By In some situations, both the symbols ⇒ and ⇐
give true statements. The two symbols can than be written together as ⟺. This means ‘implies and is implied by’. Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem 𝑥 𝑦 𝐴 𝑂 𝐵 AOB is a straight line ⟺ ∠𝑥+∠𝑦 =180°
12
Writing Mathematics Write one of the symbols ⇒ , ⇐ and ⟺ between the two statements A and B. A: Nimrod is a cat B: Nimrod has whiskers Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem You can write A ⇒ B. Since all cats have whiskers and Nimrod is a cat, it must be true that Nimrod has whiskers. However, you cannot write A ⇐ B. That is saying ‘Nimrod has whiskers’, implies ‘Nimrod is a cat’. However, there are other sorts of animals that have whiskers, so you cannot conclude that Nimrod is a cat.
13
Writing Mathematics Write one of the symbols ⇒ , ⇐ and ⟺ between the two statements A and B. A: The hands of the clock are at right angles B: The clock is showing 3 o’clock Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem You can write A ⇐ B because it is true that at 3 o’clock the hands are at right angles. However, you cannot write A ⇒ B because there are other times, for example 9 o’clock, when the hands are at right angles.
14
A living being is a spider ⇒ it has eight legs
Necessary Necessary is often used when giving the conditions under which a statement is true. Thus a necessary condition for a living being to be a spider is that it has eight legs. However, it is not a sufficient condition because there are other creatures with eight legs. Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem A living being is a spider ⇒ it has eight legs
15
A living being has eight legs ⇐ it is a spider
Sufficient The word sufficient is also used when giving conditions under which you can be certain that a statement is true. Thus being a spider is a sufficient condition for a creature to have eight legs (but not a necessary one). Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem A living being has eight legs ⇐ it is a spider
16
Necessary & Sufficient
If A is both a necessary and sufficient condition for B, what symbol should connect A and B? Can you come up with statements for A and B that would make this true? Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem Example: A: a shape has 5 sides B: a shape is a pentagon A ⟺ B
17
Angle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 =90°⇒ (𝐴 𝐵) 2 =(𝐵 𝐶) 2 +(𝐶 𝐴) 2
Converse When theorems are involved, it is quite common to use the word ‘converse’ to express the idea behind the ⇐ symbol. Chapter 1.2 Pythagoras Theorem: 𝐴 Angle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 =90°⇒ (𝐴 𝐵) 2 =(𝐵 𝐶) 2 +(𝐶 𝐴) 2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem Its converse is: Angle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 =90°⇐(𝐴 𝐵) 2 =(𝐵 𝐶) 2 +(𝐶 𝐴) 2 𝐵 𝐶 It is more usual to write the converse the other way round: (𝐴 𝐵) 2 =(𝐵 𝐶) 2 +(𝐶 𝐴) 2 ⇒Angle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 =90°
18
Converse One theorem states:
If AB is the diameter of a circle through points A, B and C, then ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵=90°. Write down the converse of this theorem. Is the converse of the theorem true? Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem The converse is: If ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵=90°, then AB is the diameter of a circle through points A, B and C. This is also true.
19
Converse Can you think of a mathematical statement where the converse is not true? Chapter 1.2 Implies Therefore Necessary Sufficient Converse Theorem Example: If a number is divisible by 6, then the number is divisible by 3
