CLEP College Math

CLEP College Math covers essential mathematical concepts and skills necessary for college-level coursework.

Advanced Topics

Logic and Set Theory

Thinking Logically

Logic is about reasoning and making valid conclusions. Basic logic uses statements that are either true or false.

  • AND: Both statements must be true.
  • OR: At least one statement is true.
  • NOT: Negates a statement.

Sets and Their Use

A set is a collection of items. Sets help organize and compare groups of objects or numbers.

  • Union: Combines all items from two sets.
  • Intersection: Items that appear in both sets.
  • Complement: Items not in a set.

Real Life Connections

Logic and sets are used in computer programming, organizing data, and creating search filters online.

Examples

  • Using logic gates in electronics to control circuits.

  • Grouping students by club memberships to see overlaps.

In a Nutshell

Logic and set theory teach you how to reason clearly and organize information.
