And let's also give the value *1* to each *True* proposition and *0* to each false one. /Ex:/ - *5 ≥ 2* is a proposition, a correct one !!! - *The webmaster is a girl* is also a proposition, which is also correct. - *x is always bigger than 5* is *not* a proposition, because we CAN'T determine if it's correct or not as *x* changes. ...etc In order to avoid repetition, and rewriting the proposition over and over, we just assign a capital letter to them such as *P Q* or *R*. So now we could write : *Let the proposition P be 5 ≥ 2, we notice that P is always True, therefor its validity is 1* We also have the opposite of *P*, which is *not(P)* but for simplicity we use *P̅* (A P with a bar on top, in case it doesn't load for you), now let's go back to the previous example: *Since we know that the proposition P is true, we can conclude that P̅ is false. As P and P̅ can NOT be true at the same time. It's like saying 5 is greater and also lesser than 2...doesn't make sense, does it ?* Now let's say we have two propositions, and we want to test the validity of their disjunction..... Okay what is this "disjunction" ? *Great Question Billy !!!* A disjunction is true if either propositions are true Ex: *Let proposition P be "The webmaster is asleep", and Q be "The reader loves pufferfishes". The disjunction of these two propositions can have 4 different values showed in this Table of truth (such a badass name):* | P | Q | Disjunction | |---+---+-------------| | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | | 0 | 0 | 0 | /What the hell is this ?/ The first colomn is equivalent to saying : "The webmaster is asleep AND The reader loves pufferfishes" The second one means : "The webmaster is asleep AND The reader DOESN'T love pufferfishes (if you are in this case, then *I HATE YOU*)" The third one... /zzzzzzz/ You got the idea !!! And since we are talking about a disjunction here, *one of the propositions* need to be true in order for this disjunction to be true. You may be wondering.... Crystal, can't we write a disjunction in magical math symbols ? And to this I respond with a big *YES*. A disjunction is symbolized by a *∨* . So the disjunction between proposition *P & Q* can be written this way : *P ∨ Q* What if, we want to test whether or not two propositions are true AT THE SAME TIME ? Long story short, we can, it's called a conjunction, same concept, as before, only this time the symbol is *P ∧ Q*, and is only true if *P* and *Q* are true. So we get a Table like this : | P | Q | P ∨ Q | P ∧ Q | |---+---+-------+-------| | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | *Always remember: 1 means true and 0 means false* There are two more basics to cover here before going to some properties, the first one is implication symbolized by the double arrow *⇒* Implication is kinda hard for my little brain to explain, so I will just say what it means: *If P implies Q, this means that either Q, or the opposite of P are correct* or in math terms *P ⇒ Q translates to P̅ ∨ Q* Let's illustrate : | P | Q | P̅ | Q̅ | P ∨ Q | P ∧ Q | P ⇒ Q (P̅ ∨ Q) | |---+---+---+---+-------+-------+---------------| | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | *If you look clearly, there is only one case where an implication is false. therefor you just need to find it, and blindly say that the others are correct. A rule of thumb is that: "A correct never implies a false", or "If a 1 tries to imply a 0, the implication is a 0"* Aight, a last one and we are done!!! Equivalence, which is fairly easy, symbolized by a *⇔* symbol. A proposition is equivalent to another only when both of them have *the same value of truth* AKA: both true or both false. a little table will help demonstrate what i mean. | P | Q | P̅ | Q̅ | P ∨ Q | P ∧ Q | P ⇒ Q (P̅ ∨ Q) | P ⇔ Q | |---+---+---+---+-------+-------+---------------+-------| | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | /Note: P implying Q is equivalent to P̅ implying Q̅, or: (P ⇒ Q) ⇔ (P̅ ⇒ Q̅)/ ** Properties: *** *Absorption*: (P ∨ P) ⇔ P (P ∧ P) ⇔ P *** *Commutativity*: (P ∧ Q) ⇔ (Q ∧ P) (P ∨ Q) ⇔ (Q ∨ P) *** *Associativity*: P ∧ (Q ∧ R) ⇔ (P ∧ Q) ∧ R P ∨ (Q ∨ R) ⇔ (P ∨ Q) ∨ R *** *Distributivity*: P ∧ (Q ∨ R) ⇔ (P ∧ Q) ∨ (P ∧ R) P ∨ (Q ∧ R) ⇔ (P ∨ Q) ∧ (P ∨ R) *** *Neutral element*: /We define proposition *T* to be always *true* and *F* to be always *false*/ P ∧ T ⇔ P P ∨ F ⇔ P *** *Negation of a conjunction & a disjunction*: Now we won't use bars here because my lazy ass doesn't know how, so instead I will use not()!!! not(*P ∧ Q*) ⇔ P̅ ∨ Q̅ not(*P ∨ Q*) ⇔ P̅ ∧ Q̅ *A rule I really like to use here is: Break and Invert. Basically you break the bar into the three characters of the propositions, so you get not(P) not(∧ or ∨) /NOT AN ACTUAL MATH WRITING. DONT USE IT ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN YOUR BRAIN/ and not(Q)* *** *Transitivity*: [(P ⇒ Q) AND (Q ⇒ R)] ⇔ P ⇒ R *** *Contraposition*: (P ⇒ Q) ⇔ (Q̅ ⇒ P̅) *** God only knows what this property is called: /If/ (P ⇒ Q) is true and (P̅ ⇒ Q) is true then Q is always true ** Some exercices I found online : *** USTHB 2022/2023 Section B : **** Exercice 1: Démontrer les équivalences suivantes: 1. (P ⇒ Q) ⇔ (Q̅ ⇒ P̅) Basically we are asked to prove contraposition, so here we have ( P ⇒ Q ) which is equivalent to P̅ ∨ Q *By definition : (P ⇒ Q) ⇔ (P̅ ∨ Q)* So we end up with : *(P̅ ∨ Q) ⇔ (Q̅ ⇒ P̅)*, now we just do the same with the second part of the contraposition. *(Q̅ ⇒ P̅) ⇔ (Q ∨ P̅)* therefor : *(Q ∨ P̅) ⇔ (P̅ ∨ Q)*, which is true because of commutativity 2. not(P ⇒ Q) ⇔ P ∧ Q̅ Okaaaay so, let's first get rid of the implication, because I don't like it : *not(P̅ ∨ Q)* Now that we got rid of it, we can negate the whole disjunction *not(P̅ ∨ Q) ⇔ (P ∧ Q̅)*. Which is the equivalence we needed to prove 3. P ⇒ (Q ∧ R) ⇔ (P ⇒ Q) ∧ (P ⇒ R) One might be tempted to replace P with P̅ to get rid of the implication...sadly this isnt it. All we have to do here is resort to *Distributivity*, because yeah, we can distribute an implication across a {con/dis}junction 4. P ∧ (Q ∨ R) ⇔ (P ∧ Q) ∨ (P ∧ R) Literally the same as above 🩷 **** Exercice 2: Dire si les propositions suivantes sont vraies ou fausses, et les nier: 1. ∀x ∈ ℝ ,∃y ∈ ℝ*+, tels que e^x = y For each x from the set of Real numbers, there exists a number y from the set of non-zero positive Real numbers that satisfies the equation : e^x = y "The function f(x)=e^x is always positive and non-null", the very definition of an exponential function !!!! *So the proposition is true* 2. ∃x ∈ ℝ, tels que x^2 < x < x^3 We just need to find a value that satisifies this condition...thankfully its easy.... x² < x < x³ , we divide the three terms by x so we get : x < 1 < x² , or : *x < 1* ; *1 < x²* ⇔ *x < 1* ; *1 < x* /We square root both sides/ We end up with a contradiction, therefor its wrong 3. ∀x ∈ ℝ, ∃y ∈ ℝ tels que y = 3x - 8 I dont really understand this one, so let me translate it "For any value of x from the set of Real numbers, 3x - 8 is a Real number".... i mean....yeah, we are substracting a Real number from an other real number... *Since substraction is an Internal composition law in ℝ, therefor all results of a substraction between two Real numbers is...Real* 4. ∃x ∈ ℕ, ∀y ∈ ℕ, x > y ⇒ x + y < 8 "There exists a number x from the set of Natural numbers such as for all values of y from the set of Natural numbers, x > y implies x + y < 8" Let's get rid of the implication : ∃x ∈ ℕ, ∀y ∈ ℕ, (y > x) ∨ (x + y < 8) /There exists a number x from the set of Natural numbers such as for all values of y from the set of Natural numbers y > x OR x + y < 8/ This proposition is true, because there exists a value of x that satisfies this condition, it's *all numbers under 8* let's take 3 as an example: *x = 3 , if y > 3 then the first condition is true ; if y < 3 then the second one is true* Meaning that the two propositions CAN NOT BE WRONG TOGETHER, either one is wrong, or the other y > x *y - x > 0* y + x < 8 *y < 8 - x* /This one is always true for all values of x below 8, since we are working in the set ℕ/ 5. ∀x ∈ ℝ, x² ≥ 1 ⇔ x ≥ 1 ....This is getting stupid. of course it's true it's part of the definition of the power of 2 * 2éme cours /Oct 2/ ** Quantifiers A propriety P can depend on a parameter x ∀ is the universal quantifier which stands for "For any value of..." ∃ is the existential quantifier which stands for "There exists at least one..." ***** Example P(x) : x+1≥0 P(X) is True or False depending on the values of x *** Proprieties **** Propriety Number 1: The negation of the universal quantifier is the existential quantifier, and vice-versa : - not(∀x ∈ E , P(x)) ⇔ ∃ x ∈ E, not(P(x)) - not(∃x ∈ E , P(x)) ⇔ ∀ x ∈ E, not(P(x)) ***** Example: ∀ x ≥ 1 x² > 5 ⇔ ∃ x ≥ 1 x² < 5 **** Propriety Number 2: *∀x ∈ E, [P(x) ∧ Q(x)] ⇔ [∀ x ∈ E, P(x)] ∧ [∀ x ∈ E, Q(x)]* The propriety "For any value of x from a set E , P(x) and Q(x)" is equivalent to "For any value of x from a set E, P(x) AND for any value of x from a set E, Q(x)" ***** Example : P(x) : sqrt(x) > 0 ; Q(x) : x ≥ 1 ∀x ∈ ℝ*+, [sqrt(x) > 0 , x ≥ 1] ⇔ [∀x ∈ R*+, sqrt(x) > 0] ∧ [∀x ∈ R*+, x ≥ 1] *Which is true* **** Propriety Number 3: *∃ x ∈ E, [P(x) ∧ Q(x)] /⇒/ [∃ x ∈ E, P(x)] ∧ [∃ x ∈ E, Q(x)]* /Here its an implication and not an equivalence/ ***** Example of why it's NOT an equivalence : P(x) : x > 5 ; Q(x) : x < 5 Of course there is no value of x such as its inferior and superior to 5 at the same time, so obviously the proposition is false. However, the two propositions separated are correct on their own, because there is a value of x such as its superior to 5, and there is also a value of x such as its inferior to 5. This is why it's an implication and NOT AN EQUIVALENCE!!! **** Propriety Number 4: *[∀ x ∈ E, P(x)] ∨ [∀ x ∈ E, Q(x)] /⇒/ ∀x ∈ E, [P(x) ∨ Q(x)]* /Same here, implication and NOT en equivalence/ ** Multi-parameter proprieties : A propriety P can depend on two or more parameters, for convenience we call them x,y,z...etc ***** Example : P(x,y): x+y > 0 P(0,1) is a True proposition P(-2,-1) is a False one ***** WARNING : ∀x ∈ E, ∃y ∈ F , P(x,y) ∃y ∈ F, ∀x ∈ E , P(x,y) Are different because in the first one y depends on x, while in the second one, it doesn't ****** Example : ∀ x ∈ ℕ , ∃ y ∈ ℕ y > x ------ True ∃ y ∈ ℕ , ∀ x ∈ ℕ y > x ------ False **** Proprieties : 1. not(∀x ∈ E ,∃y ∈ F P(x,y)) ⇔ ∃x ∈ E, ∀y ∈ F not(P(x,y)) 2. not(∃x ∈ E ,∀y ∈ F P(x,y)) ⇔ ∀x ∈ E, ∃y ∈ F not(P(x,y)) ** Methods of mathematical reasoning : *** Direct reasoning : To show that an implication P ⇒ Q is true, we suppose that P is true and we show that Q is true **** Example: Let a,b be two Real numbers, we have to prove that *a² + b² = 1 ⇒ |a + b| ≤ 2* We suppose that a²+b² = 1 and we prove that |a + b| ≤ 2 a²+b²=1 ⇒ b² = 1 - a² ; a² = 1 - b² a²+b²=1 ⇒ 1 - a² ≥ 0 ; 1 - b² ≥ 0 a²+b²=1 ⇒ a² ≤ 1 ; b² ≤ 1 a²+b²=1 ⇒ -1 ≤ a ≤ 1 ; -1 ≤ b ≤ 1 a²+b²=1 ⇒ -2 ≤ a + b ≤ 2 a²+b²=1 ⇒ |a + b| ≤ 2 *Which is what we wanted to prove, therefor the implication is correct* *** Reasoning by the Absurd: To prove that a proposition is True, we suppose that it's False and we must come to a contradiction And to prove that an implication P ⇒ Q is true using the reasoning by the absurd, we suppose that P ∧ not(Q) is true, and then we come to a contradiction as well **** Example: Prove that this proposition is correct using the reasoning by the absurd : ∀x ∈ ℝ* , sqrt(1+x²) ≠ 1 + x²/2 We assume that ∃ x ℝ* , sqrt(1+x²) = 1 + x²/2 sqrt(1+x²) = 1 + x²/2 ; 1 + x² = (1+x²/2)² ; 1 + x² = 1 + x^4/4 + x² ; x^(4)/4 = 0 ... Which contradicts with our proposition, since x = 4 and we are working on the ℝ* set *** Reasoning by contraposition: If an implication P ⇒ Q is too hard to prove, we just have to prove not(Q) ⇒ not(P) is true !!! or in other words that both not(P) and not(Q) are true *** Reasoning by counter example: To prove that a proposition ∀x ∈ E, P(x) is false, all we have to do is find a single value of x from E such as not(P(x)) is true * 3eme Cours : /Oct 9/ *** Reasoning by recurrence : P is a propriety dependent of *n ∈ ℕ*. If for n0 ∈ ℕ P(n0) is true, and if for n ≥ n0 (P(n) ⇒ P(n+1)) is true. Then P(n) is true for n ≥ n0 **** Example: Let's prove that ∀ n ≥ 1 , (n,k=1)Σk = [n(n+1)]/2 P(n) : (n,k=1)Σk = [n(n+1)]/2 *Pour n = 1:* (1,k=1)Σk = 1 ; [n(n+1)]/2 = 1 . *So P(1) is true* For n ≥ 1. We assume that P(n) is true, OR : *(n, k=1)Σk = n(n+1)/2*. We now have to prove that P(n+1) is true, Or : *(n+1, k=1)Σk = (n+1)(n+2)/2* (n+1, k=1)Σk = 1 + 2 + .... + n + (n+1) ; (n+1, k=1)Σk = (n, k=1)Σk + (n+1) ; = n(n+1)/2 + (n+1) ; = [n(n+1) + 2(n+1)]/2 ; = *[(n+2)(n+1)]/2* /WHICH IS WHAT WE NEEDED TO FIND/ *Conclusion: ∀n ≥ 1 , (n,k=1)Σk = n(n+1)/2* * 4eme Cours : Chapitre 2 : Sets and Operations ** Definition of a set : A set is a collection of objects that share the sane propriety ** Belonging, inclusion, and equality : a. Let E be a set. If x is an element of E, we say that x belongs to E we write *x ∈ E*, and if it doesn't, we write *x ∉ E* b. A set E is included in a set F if all elements of E are elements of F and we write *E ⊂ F ⇔ (∀x , x ∈ E ⇒ x ∈ F)*. We say that E is a subset of F, or a part of F. The negation of this propriety is : *E ⊄ F ⇔ ∃x , x ∈ E and x ⊄ F* c. E and F are equal if E is included in F and F is included in E, and we write *E = F ⇔ (E ⊂ F) et (F ⊂ E)* d. The empty set (symbolized by ∅) is a set without elements, and is included in all sets (by convention) : *∅ ⊂ E* ** Intersections and reunions : *** Intersection: E ∩ F = {x / x ∈ E AND x ∈ F} ; x ∈ E ∩ F ⇔ x ∈ F AND x ∈ F x ∉ E ∩ F ⇔ x ∉ E OR x ∉ F *** Union: E ∪ F = {x / x ∈ E OR x ∈ F} ; x ∈ E ∪ F ⇔ x ∈ F OR x ∈ F x ∉ E ∪ F ⇔ x ∉ E AND x ∉ F *** Difference between two sets: E\F(Which is also written as : E - F) = {x / x ∈ E and x ∉ F} *** Complimentary set: If F ⊂ E.

We have : *** Commutativity: E ∩ F = F ∩ E E ∪ F = F ∪ E *** Associativity: E ∩ (F ∩ G) = (E ∩ F) ∩ G E ∪ (F ∪ G) = (E ∪ F) ∪ G *** Distributivity: E ∩ (F ∪ G) = (E ∩ F) ∪ (E ∩ G) E ∪ (F ∩ G) = (E ∪ F) ∩ (E ∪ G) *** Lois de Morgan: If E ⊂ G and F ⊂ G ; (E ∩ F)CG = ECG ∪ FCG ; (E ∪ F)CG = ECG ∩ FCG *** An other one: E - (F ∩ G) = (E-F) ∪ (E-G) ; E - (F ∪ G) = (E-F) ∩ (E-G) *** An other one: E ∩ ∅ = ∅ ; E ∪ ∅ = E *** And an other one: E ∩ (F Δ G) = (E ∩ F) Δ (E ∩ G) *** And the last one: E Δ ∅ = E ; E Δ E = ∅ * 5eme cours: L'ensemble des parties d'un ensemble /Oct 16/ Let E be a set. We define P(E) as the set of all parts of E : *P(E) = {X/X ⊂ E}* *** Notes : ∅ ∈ P(E) ; E ∈ P(E) cardinal E = n /The number of terms in E/ , cardinal P(E) = 2^n /The number of all parts of E/ *** Examples : E = {a,b,c} ; P(E)={∅, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a,b}, {b,c}, {a,c}, {a,b,c}} ** Partition of a set : We say that *A* is a partition of E if: a. ∀ x ∈ A , x ≠ 0 b. All the elements of *A* are two by two disjoint. Or in other terms, there should not be two elements that intersects with each other. c. The reunion of all elements of *A* is equal to E ** Cartesian products : Let E and F be two sets, the set EXF = {(x,y)/ x ∈ E AND y ∈ F} is called the Cartesian product of E and F *** Example : A = {4,5} ; B= {4,5,6} ; AxB = {(4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)} BxA = {(4,4), (4,5), (5,4), (5,5), (6,4), (6,5)} ; Therefore AxB ≠ BxA *** Some proprieties: 1.

Generally speaking : (ExF) ∪ (GxH) ≠ (E∪G) x (F∪H) * Binary relations in a set : ** Definition : Let E be a set and x,y ∈ E. If there exists a link between x and y, we say that they are tied by a relation *R* and we write *xRy* ** Proprieties : Let E be a set and R a relation defined in E 1. We say that R is reflexive if ∀ x ∈ E, xRx (for any element x in E,x is related to itself) 2. We say that R is symmetrical if ∀ x,y ∈ E , xRy ⇒ yRx 3. We say that R is transitive if ∀ x,y,z ∈ E (xRy , yRz) ⇒ xRz 4. We say that R is anti-symmetrical if ∀ x,y ∈ E xRy AND yRx ⇒ x = y ** Equivalence relationship : We say that R is a relation of equivalence in E if its reflexive, symetrical and transitive *** Equivalence class : Let R be a relation of equivalence in E and a ∈ E, we call equivalence class of *a*, and we write ̅a or ȧ, or cl a the following set : *a̅ = {y ∈ E/ y R a}* **** The quotient set : E/R = {̅a , a ∈ E} ** Order relationship : Let E be a set and R be a relation defined in E.

We call a function of the set E to the set F any relation from E to F such as for any element of E, we can find _at most one_ element of F that corresponds to it. 2. We call an application of the set E to the set F a relation from E to F such as for any element of E, we can find _one and only one_ element of F that corresponds to it. 3. f: E_{1} ---> F_{1} ; g: E_{2} ---> F_{2} ; f ≡ g ⇔ [E_{1 }= E_{2} ; F_{1} = F_{2} ; f(x) = g(x) ∀x ∈ E_{1} Generally speaking, we schematize a function or an application by this writing : #+BEGIN_VERSE f : E ---> F x ---> f(x)=y Γ = {(x , f(x))/ x ∈ E ; f(x) ∈ F} is the graph of f #+END_VERSE **** Some examples : ***** Ex1: #+BEGIN_VERSE f : ℝ ---> ℝ x ---> f(x) = (x-1)/x is a function, because 0 does NOT have a corresponding element using that relation. #+END_VERSE ***** Ex2: #+BEGIN_VERSE f : ℝ^{*} ---> ℝ x ---> f(x)= (x-1)/x is, however, an application #+END_VERSE *** Restriction and prolongation of an application : Let f : E -> F an application and E_{1} ⊂ E therefore : #+BEGIN_VERSE g : E_{1} -> F g(x) = f(x) ∀x ∈ E_{1} g is called the *restriction* of f to E_{1}. And f is called the *prolongation* of g to E. #+END_VERSE **** Example #+BEGIN_VERSE f : ℝ ---> ℝ x ---> f(x) = x^{2} g : [0 , +∞[ ---> ℝ x ---> g(x) = x² g is called the *restriction* of f to ℝ^{+}. And f is called the *prolongation* of g to ℝ. #+END_VERSE *** Composition of applications : Let E,F, and G be three sets, f: E -> F and g: F -> G are two applications. We define their composition, symbolized by g_{o}f as follow : g_{o}f : E -> G . ∀x ∈ E (g_{o}f)_{(x)}= g(f(x)) ** 3.2 Injection, surjection and bijection : Let f: E -> F be an application : 1. We say that f is injective if : ∀x,x' ∈ E : f(x) = f(x') ⇒ x = x' 2. We say that f is surjective if : ∀ y ∈ F , ∃ x ∈ E : y = f(x) 3. We say that if is bijective if it's both injective and surjective at the same time. *** Proposition : Let f : E -> F be an application. Therefore: 1. f is injective ⇔ y = f(x) has at most one solution. 2. f is surjective ⇔ y = f(x) has at least one solution. 3. f is bijective ⇔ y = f(x) has a single and unique solution. ** 3.3 Reciprocal applications : *** Def : Let f : E -> F a bijective application. So there exists an application named f^{-1} : F -> E such as : y = f(x) ⇔ x = f^{-1}(y) *** Theorem : Let f : E -> F be a bijective application. Therefore its reciprocal f^{-1} verifies : f^{-1}_{o}f=Id_{E }; f_{o}f^{-1}=Id_{F} Or : Id_{E} : E -> E ; x -> Id_{E}(x) = x *** Some proprieties : 1. (f^{-1})^{-1} = f 2. (g_{o}f)⁻¹ = f⁻¹_{o}g⁻¹ 3. The graphs of f and f⁻¹ are symmetrical to each other by the first bis-sectrice of the equation y = x ** 3.4 Direct Image and reciprocal Image : *** Direct Image : Let f: E-> F be an application and A ⊂ E. We call a direct image of A by f, and we symbolize as f(A) the subset of F defined by : f(A) = {f(x)/ x ∈ A} ; = { y ∈ F ∃ x ∈ A y=f(x)} **** Example : #+BEGIN_VERSE f: ℝ -> ℝ x -> f(x) = x² A = {0,4} f(A) = {f(0), f(4)} = {0, 16} #+END_VERSE *** Reciprocal image : Let f: E -> F be an application and B ⊂ F. We call the reciprocal image of E by F the subset f^{-1}(B) : f^{-1}(B) = {x ∈ E/f(x) ∈ B} ; x ∈ f^{-1}(B) ⇔ f(x) ∈ B **** Example : #+BEGIN_VERSE f: ℝ -> ℝ x -> f(x) = x² B = {1,9,4} f^{-1}(B) = {1,-1,2,-2,3,-3} = {x ∈ ℝ/x² ∈ {1,4,9}} #+END_VERSE
