Mathematical Statement

The document defines six types of mathematical statements: universal statements which are true for all elements of a set, conditional statements which use "if-then" to describe a condition, existential statements which assert the existence of at least one thing with a given property, existential-universal statements which assert the existence of an object that satisfies a property for all things of a kind, universal-existential statements which say a property is true for all objects and assert the existence of something, and universal-conditional statements which contain "for all" and "if-then" to describe a property being true for all objects given a condition.

Mathematical statement

1. Universal statement
- True for all elements in a set.
- A certain property is true for all
Ex: all even numbers can be divisible 2
2. Conditional statement
- There is a certain condition in the set, and uses “then”
Ex: if 378 is divisible 18, then 378 is divisible 6
3. Existential statement
- Only one true exist
- At least one thing on the property is true
Ex: if the number was multiple of 2 then it was a number from 50-59
4. Existential Universal statement
- Is a statement that is existential because it’s first part asserts that a
certain object exist and is a universal because it’s second part says that
the object satisfies a certain property for all things of a certain kind.
Ex: there is a positive integers that is less than or equal to every positive
integers.
5. Universal Existential statement
- Is a statement that is universal because it’s first part says that a certain
property is true for all objects of a given type and it is existential
because it’s second part asserts the existence of something.
Ex: every real numbers has an additive inverse
6. Universal Conditional statement
- Contains some variation of the world’s “for all” and conditional
statements contains version of the world “if then.” A universal
conditional statement is a statement that a both universal and
conditional.
Ex: for all animals a, if a is a dog, then a is a mammal
