This lesson defines and explains the concepts of a statement, truth value, negation,
postulate and theorem. This might seem complicated here in text, but once you have
instructor explain it, will be easy for you to understand. You should remember that the
main idea behind
logical reasoning
is to use the information and preconditions to make
a conclusion. You'll also learn about conditionals. Conditionals are 'if-then' statements.
More precisely,
conditionals
are statements that say if one thing happens, another will
follow. The content, explanations and including practice problems with solution can be
learnt with the help of video audio presentation in own hand writing by the instructor
and several examples.
(More text below video...)
(Continued from above)
You’ll explore in the lessons hereafter, the topics like - difference between inductive
and deductive reasoning, the statements (conditionals, converse, inverse and biconditional to
determine truth value of each statement), the study of relationships especially between the
concepts of congruence and similarity using both the inductive and deductive methods of reasoning.
The emphasis is on problem solving and practical applications combined with the algebraic concepts.
The learning from this will enable you to solve the practical math related problems and apply
successfully in geometry-related real-world problems.
