Logic symbols | Quantifier (logic)

Existential quantification

In predicate logic, an existential quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as "there exists", "there is at least one", or "for some". It is usually denoted by the logical operator symbol ∃, which, when used together with a predicate variable, is called an existential quantifier ("∃x" or "∃(x)" or "(∃x)"). Existential quantification is distinct from universal quantification ("for all"), which asserts that the property or relation holds for all members of the domain. Some sources use the term existentialization to refer to existential quantification. (Wikipedia).

Universal and Existential Quantifiers, ∀ "For All" and ∃ "There Exists"

Statements with "for all" and "there exist" in them are called quantified statements. "For all", written with the symbol ∀, is called the Universal Quantifier and and "There Exists" , written with the symbol ∃, is called the Existential Quantifier. A quantifier turns a predicate such as "x

Can You Define the Immeasurable?

What is infinity? Can you define something that, by definition, has no boundaries? A subject extensively studied by philosophers, mathematicians, and more recently, physicists and cosmologists, infinity still stands as an enigma of the intellectual world. We asked people from all walks of

Set builder notation

In this video we discuss how the informal set builder notation, and various expressions where it's used, translates to logical sentences. I also talk a bit about universtal and existential quantification and how this relates to various notations in formal set theory. https://en.wikipedia.
