We spent the first part of class going over the midterm. The end of the class we talked about existential quantifiers, which are the backwards E and the upside-down A.


∃ means "there exists", which means *at least one* of the thing exists. For example, it is true that there exists a country in Africa with an official language of Spanish. To prove this to be the case, I would refer you to the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.


∀ means "for all", and it means *100% of the things* it is talking about are true. For example, it is false that ∀ countries in Africa, the official language is Spanish. To prove this to be the case, I would refer you to, well, basically any country in Africa except for Equatorial Guinea.
