Introduction to first-order logic: =1=First
... Recall that a sentence is a formula with no free variables. The truth of a sentence in a given structure does not depend on the variable assignment. Therefore, for a structure S and sentence A we can simply write S |= A if S, v |= A for any/every variable assignment v . We then say that S is a model ...

... since they are angles in a triangle. Thus we have 180 = x – d + x + x + d = 3x. So x must be 180 ÷ 3 = 60 degrees. 2. Some students may already know that the sum of consecutive odds form square numbers. This gives a short-cut to the answer, 402 = 1600. Otherwise, we have to use the usual trick of ad ...
