Prerequisite Skills:  none

 

Definitions:  A conditional is a sentence with two clauses preceded by the words "if" and "then".  The "if" clause contains the hypothesis (also known as the

                          antecedent); the "then" clause contains the conclusion (also known as the consequent).

 

                          The symbolic form of a conditional with variables to represent each clause is:    If p, then q.

                          (p is the hypothesis (antecedent) and q is the conclusion (consequent).

 

                          An Euler Diagram shows the relationship among sets.  For a conditional sentence, it shows the relationship of the hypothesis (antecedent) and

                          conclusion (consequent).
