=
እኩል እኩል ነው፣ እኩል ይሆናል x=y, x እና y አንድ አይነት ዋጋን ይወክላሉ 2+2=4
definition is defined as If x≡y, x is defined as another name of y (a+b)2≡a2+2ab+b2
approximately equal is approximately equal to If x≈y, x and y are almost equal. √2≈1.41
inequation does not equal, is not equal to If x≠y, x and y do not represent the same value or thing. 1+1≠3
<
strict inequality
is less than If x<y, x is less than y. 4<5
>
is greater than If x>y, x is greater than y. 3>2
is much less than If x≪y, x is much less than y. 1≪999999999
is much greater than If x≫y, x is much greater than y. 88979808≫0.001
inequality
is less than or equal to If x≤y, x is less than or equal to y. 5≤6 and 5≤5
is greater than or equal to If x≥y, x is greater than or equal to y. 2≥1 and 2≥2
proportionality is proportional to If x∝y, then y=kx for some constant k. If y=4x then y∝x and x∝y
+
addition plus x+y is the sum of x and y. 2+3=5
-
[subtraction] minus x-y is the subtraction of y from x 5-3=2
×
multiplication times x×y is the multiplication of x by y 4×5=20
·
x·y is the multiplication of x by y 4·5=20
÷
division divided by x÷y or x/y is the division of x by y 20÷4=5 and 20/4=5
/
20/4=5
±
plus-minus plus or minus x±y means both x+y and x-y The equation 3±√9 has two solutions, 0 and 6.
minus-plus minus or plus 4±(3∓5) means both 4+(3-5) and 4-(3+5) 6∓(1±3)=2 or 4
square root square root √x is a number whose square is x. √4=2 or -2
summation sum over … from … to … of, sigma is the same as x1+x2+x3+xk
multiplication product over … from … to … of is the same as x1×x2×x3×xk =1×2×3×4×5=120
!
factorial factorial n! is the product 1×2×3...×n 5!=1×2×3×4×5=120
material implication implies A⇒B means that if A is true, B must also be true, but if A is false, B is unknown. x=3⇒x2=9, but x2=9⇒x=3 is false, because x could also be -3.
material equivalence if and only if If A is true, B is true and if A is false, B is false. x=y+1⇔x-1=y
|…|
absolute value absolute value of |x| is the distance along the real line (or across the complex plane) between x and zero |5|=5 and |-5|=5
||
parallel is parallel to If A||B then A and B are parallel
perpendicular is perpendicular to If A⊥B then A is perpendicular to B
congruence is congruent to If A≅B then shape A is congruent to shape B (has the same measurements)
