Symbolic Logic and the Binomial Expansion

While Symbolic Logic and the Binomial Expansion are subjects that are often mentioned in High School and College math courses, the two projects contained in this book have been carefully developed to help the student achieve a more in-depth understanding of these concepts. The projects are designed to be done independently or they can be incorporated into the curriculum of any math course from second semester algebra and beyond.  Students who complete these projects will gain a stronger appreciation of what it means to think logically and they will see how two seemingly unrelated areas of study connect in ways that strengthen both.


Areas of focus in these projects include: 

Truth Tables 

Compound Truth Tables

Negations

Conditionals

Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive 

Biconditionals

Tautologies 


Symbolic logic (also known as Mathematical Logic) is foundational to many fields of study such as computer science and engineering. Those who have an understanding of symbolic logic and the binomial expansion will be better prepared for further courses of study in mathematics, science, and engineering.
