2.5-2.8, due on September 10

The most difficult part of the passage for me was the wording in expressing the biconditional.  I feel as though if and only if and also sufficient and necessary seem almost redundant.  The end of the reading tried to justify it, but the explanation was extremely wordy.


The most interesting section, I found to be the reasoning behind the symbol with the three lines or equivalency.  I remember using that symbol a lot especially in chemistry and other math courses and had always assumed it to mean the = sign but just fancier.  Now I understand the meaning as if one is true, then so is the other and likewise if one is false.
