Have you ever written a sentence in short hand or used acronyms to represent words ?
In math we do that as well. In this topic, you will learn how to translate a sentence into symbolic form.
You will also learn how to change the meaning of a sentence, by using a symbol
We can use the following stuff to translate sentences into symbolic form.
∼ = Not
∧ = And (Conjunction)
∨ = Or (Dis junction)
--> = If....then
<--> = If and only if
Translating Sentences into Symbolic Form - Examples

Example 10 :
Translate the following sentence into symbolic form :
Read the book, and take a test or do a project
Translation :
(R ∧ T) ∨ P
Example 11 :
Translate the following sentence into symbolic form :
Read the book and take a test, or do a project
Translation :
R ∧ (T ∨ P)
Example 12 :
Translate the following sentence into symbolic form :
Read the book and don't take the test, or do a project
Translation :
(R ∧ ∼ T) ∨ P
Example 13 :
