In logical argument and mathematical proof, the therefore sign, ∴, is generally used before a logical consequence, such as the conclusion of a syllogism. The symbol consists of three dots placed in an upright triangle and is read therefore .

2024年1月13日 · Can you explain what do the three dots (...) mean in the proof of theorem 11.10? I'm especially curious about why the three dots are needed in the unions of sets marked by the red box. I guess the unions of sets consist only two terms which are $A^{'}_{n} \cup A^{'}_{n-1}$ in …

A proof of a theorem is a written verification that shows that the theorem is definitely and unequivocally true. A proof should be understandable and convincing to anyone who has the requisite background and knowledge.

2023年12月1日 · Prove: If a triangle is a right triangle with legs of lengths a and b and hypotenuse of length c, then a² + b² = c². Proof: Start with the given right triangle with legs of lengths a and b and hypotenuse of length c. By the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that: a² + b² = c².

2019年3月3日 · Its a three dot symbol: ∴ I read a book, im could not find any definition of this symbol. This is about continuum property of the natural numbers and the archimedean property: for some n ∈ N n ∈ N, n> B − 1 n> B − 1. ∴ n + 1> B n + 1> B. this should be a proof on the set N N of natural numbers is unbounden above. But I do not understand it.

When a student writes a proof for a teacher, the aim is usually not to convince the teacher of the truth of some general principle (the teacher already knows that), but to convince the teacher that the student understands the proof and can write it clearly. The \theorems" below show the proper format for writing a proof.

2020年6月23日 · Very often, it is somewhat awkward to use "$\therefore$" and "$\because$" for proofs, because modus ponens, the most commonly used principle of deduction, contains three parts, while "$\therefore$" and "$\because$" are just two symbols.

In combinatorics, stars and bars (also called "sticks and stones", [1] "balls and bars", [2] and "dots and dividers" [3]) is a graphical aid for deriving certain combinatorial theorems. It can be used to solve a variety of counting problems, such as how many ways there are to put n indistinguishable balls into k distinguishable bins. [4] .

2023年7月26日 · The verification that \(p \Rightarrow q\) is valid is called the proof of the implication. In this section we examine the most common methods of proof 2 and illustrate each technique with some examples.

2023年11月26日 · If $A\in M_{m,n}(D)$, D a p.i.d., then A is equivalent to a matrix which has the "diagonal" form $diag\{d_1,d_2,\dots, d_r,0,\dots,0\}$, where the $d_i\neq 0$ and $d_i|d_j$ if $i\leq j$. Jacobson inspired the proof by first showing D is an Euclidean domain, then mimicking the proof in the general case.
