The document defines key terms related to conditional statements, including conditional statement, if-then statement, hypothesis, conclusion, converse, inverse, and contrapositive. It provides examples of identifying the hypothesis and conclusion of conditional statements and determining the truth value of conditionals. Examples are worked through step-by-step to identify related conditionals and write statements in if-then form. Key terms are defined over multiple slides as examples are introduced.

p. 109 #1-51 odd, 63
“Don’t be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a
sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false
leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points
out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.” - John Keats
