Learning these symbols in university is one of the most useful things I've ever learned. You can write out, read, and analyze so many logical and mathematical questions in very concise space, and once you're used to it, it's almost like your brain analyzes the statements more efficiently, too. No more having to read a bunch of English words between every important part of a statement: every individual symbol already communicates an entire idea, and they're all the important parts.

Outside set theory, horizontal arrow (→) has a bunch of meanings and contexts, but one you'll see a lot in mathematics is "from...to..." in function notation, to indicate that a function or operator takes you from one set to another. e.g. "a function f from A to B" is written as f : A→B. Another one you'll see a lot is "as...goes to..." in the context of limits. For example, under the limit symbol "lim" you might see "x→∞" and it means "as x goes to infinity". "Goes to" can also be read as "approaches".

For more context, double arrow is sometimes referred to as entailment. Single arrow is a symbol within the language. Double arrow is a metalanguage symbol. It is also sometimes denoted with the double turnstile ⊨. Single arrow can only be written as A →B. However entailment can be written as follows: P, Q, R ⊨ S. The above statement says if P, Q, R are assigned the "true" value, then S must have a "true" value assignment.

If you're CS or formal-logic inclined, an implication of P -> Q is actually a function from a proof of P to a proof of Q by the Curry-Howard Correspondence.

When I first saw high level mathematics some of these symbols looked like variables to me, so it didn’t make any sense. I think lot’s of people would find this video extremely helpful.

Please do make another video on the other symbols. It’s a great refresher for me. Also could you go more into the differences between the double and single line Arrows, I remember being told to only use double arrows for logical statements. So it would be nice to understand the differences.

In case you find the descriptions of set operations a little abstract: using Venn diagrams helped me to grasp set operations like union, intersection and difference. You see the bunch of pictures once, and you will probably remember it forever.

I have a tattoo of the Axiom of Infinity from ZFC set theory on my left shoulder. Part of the reason that I chose that axiom in particular is that it literally has no numbers in it: it's just a bunch of symbols. When I got the tattoo, I used to tell people that I know two languages: English and Mathematics. And the tattoo helped prove my point. Since that time I've learned Spanish, so now I know three languages. It was pretty cool that when I went to Colombia a couple of years ago, one of my friends was able to read my tattoo using the Spanish words for all of the symbols.

In my country we either use the apostrophe ‘ or a horizontal bar above the letter to denote the complement of a set. Set notations are usually taught around 10th grade here, while I only learnt logic symbols when i was in a number theory class even though at that point we could just write in words if we wanted to.

Symbolic logic and bitwise operators should be taught to kids in middle school or high school as a baseline part of the curriculum. They're so helpful in learning how to think about and solve problems. Even if you don't ever use them formally, understanding the basic ideas behind these symbols is massively helpful.

Amazing video, this will be so useful to so many people, and it’s why I’ve supported and loved Numberphile for so long! There is a slight error with the mathbb Q, R, Z, N letters at the end that might confuse people. The video says double strike R is the real numbers, eg {some subset of real numbers}. There should be … after these examples, because double strike R is always the set of EVERY real number. Same for the other examples (Q Z N).

Omg finally a summary.. Whenever I try to look up some symbol I have to ask someone, then they tell me the name, I find it on wikipedia and sure enough none of the other symbols are linked from that page.

Exclusive or is very important - it's the "non-carry" part of addition. When you add two bits, the "sum" is bit1 xor bit2, and the "carry" is bit1 ^ bit2 (bit1 and bit2). Actually you'd need to consider the carry in from the prior bit, so you'd have sum = bit1 xor bit2 xor carry_in, and carry_out = (bit1 and bit2) or (bit1 and carry) or (bit2 and carry). That is, so long as at least two inputs are true, the carry out will be true.

A useful extension of this would be to cover some of the algebraic set theory symbols like tensor product, normal subgroup, direct sum, wedge product etc.

Everyone should learn a bit of logic and set theory. It's a great foundation for realising that common sense and rational thinking isn't quite so simple as many think.
