Some mathematical results are stated in the form “P if and only if Q” or “P is necessary and sufficient for Q.” An example would be, “A triangle is equilateral if and only if its three...Some mathematical results are stated in the form “P if and only if Q” or “P is necessary and sufficient for Q.” An example would be, “A triangle is equilateral if and only if its three interior angles are congruent.” The symbolic form for the biconditional statement “P if and only if Q” is P↔Q.
