Statement

[next page] [table of contents][page overview]
A statement is a verbal expression that is either true or false, i.e. that is uniquely assigned one of the two truth values t (true) or f (false) respectively.

We use capital letters as symbols for statements, such as

$\displaystyle A:$   description$\displaystyle \quad . $

Statements can be joined using logical operators. Basic mathematical statements that cannot be derived from other statements are called axioms.
