The most common division, cannonized by Morris [1938], distinguishes between syntax, which deals with the relations between expressions; semantics, which addresses the relations between expressions and what they
The term “trivially true” can also be used to describe the implication “A ⇒ B” if B is known to be always true, since in that case the validity of A need not be considered. 1.6. Exercises. a. The statement “A ⇒ B” is equivalent to the statement “B or not-A.” ...
Essential Algebra for Advanced High School and SAT serves as a companion to an Algebra I course or aids in post-Algebra I readiness. To ensure students’ long-term success in advanced math beyond Algebra I, this book teaches the following 'essential' mathematics skills and concepts: ...
Mathematical models can be used to explore the behavior of these heterogeneous tumor cells, as well as predict the long-term efficacy of different therapies.Cell division plays an integral role in the development of tumors. While mathematical models are generally robust, they must be updated ...
We do not want that in order to properly understand a term someone needs some, perhaps implicit, prior understanding of the term. If I tell you that anumberofficially is something used for counting or measurement, you are probably not happy. While this kind of loose description is fine for...

α0)3. Therefore, since a number plus 3n+⋯+3+1 can be expressed in α, then we do that and subtract a 1 from the coefficient of each term to get the expression of that number in β. (b) Observe that there are 3 possible states, either the weighing with the counterfeit coin ...
term: in an algebraic expression or equation, either a single number or variable, or the product of several numbers and variables separated from another term by a + or – sign, e.g. in the expression 3 + 4x + 5yzw, the 3, the 4x and the 5yzw are all separate terms.theorem: a ...
Mixed-integer programs are linear programs composed by linear inequalities (constraints) and linear objective function to optimize with the added restriction that some, but not necessarily all, of the variables must be integer-valued. The term “integer” can be replaced by the term “binary” if...
the tendency is to focus on short-term lesson objectives, whereas the majority of learning objectives in mathematics is medium or long term. Hence, lesson objectives are likely to be either trivial or meaningless to students. An alternative approach is to encourage students to engage in more disc...
