1

Propositional and first order logic

Formal logic: propositions, predicates, quantifiers, logical connectives.

1m3/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaDe Morgan's laws: ¬(p∧q) ≔ ¬p∨¬q, ¬(p∨q) ≔ ¬p∧¬q.
2

Sets

Collection of distinct objects.

1/10
šŸ“Œ Key Formula|A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B|; |A Ɨ B| = |A|*|B|.
3

Relations

Subset of Cartesian product representing connections.

1m2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaReflexive: āˆ€a (a,a)∈R; Symmetric: (a,b)∈R ⇒ (b,a)∈R; Transitive: (a,b),(b,c)∈R ⇒ (a,c)∈R.
4

Functions

Special relation where each input maps to exactly one output.

1/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaInjective: f(a)=f(b) ⇒ a=b; Surjective: āˆ€y ∃x f(x)=y; Bijective = injective + surjective.
5

Partial orders and lattices

Partial orders (reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive). Lattices are partial orders with greatest lower bound and least upper bound.

2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaHasse diagram for posets.
6

Monoids

Algebraic structure: semigroup with identity element.

2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaClosure, associativity, identity.
7

Groups

Monoid with inverses for every element.

1m3/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaGroup axioms: closure, associativity, identity, inverse.
8

Connectivity graphs

Graph connectivity: vertices reachable via paths.

1m2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaConnected graph: path between every pair. Strongly connected (directed): path both ways.
9

Matching graphs

Set of edges with no common vertices.

2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaMaximum matching, Hall's marriage theorem.
10

Coloring graphs

Assigning colors to vertices (or edges) so adjacent vertices have distinct colors.

2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaChromatic number χ(G), Brook's theorem, Four color theorem.
11

Counting

Combinatorics: permutations, combinations, inclusion-exclusion, pigeonhole principle.

1m2/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaP(n,r)= n!/(n-r)!, C(n,r)= n!/(r!(n-r)!).
12

Recurrence relations

Equations defining sequence recursively.

1m3/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaHomogeneous: characteristic equation; Particular solution for non-homogeneous.
13

Generating functions

Formal power series encoding sequence coefficients.

3/10
šŸ“Œ Key FormulaG(x)= Ī£ a_n x^n; operations: addition, multiplication, convolution.
