what is a mathematical statement?

 what is a mathematical statement?


A mathematical statement is a statement that can be proven true or false.
This probably a everyday thing.

An example of a mathematical statement would be;
The principle of CPEHS is Mr. Lieberman and a teacher in CPEHS is Mr. Schnatterly.
** THE WORD AND SHOWS THAT THIS STATEMENT MUST BE TRUE FOR THE STATEMENT TO BE TRUE.


There are 4 different statements that can be formed ;
    - the conditional
    - inverse
    - converse
    - contrapositive or logical equivalent

The conditional;
If I use a pink pen, then I am lucky.

The inverse;
If I am not using a pink pen, then I am not lucky, .

The converse ;
If I am lucky, then I am using a pink pen.

The comtrapositive;
If I am not lucky, then I am not using a pink pen.
