In mathematics, Q (often written as 𝑄 ℚ ) represents the set of all rational numbers, which are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction or quotient ( 𝑝 / 𝑞 𝑝 / 𝑞 ) of two integers, with 𝑞 𝑞 not being zero; the asterisk () usually means the set excluding zero, so Q ( 𝑄 * ℚ * ) means all non-zero rational numbers, forming a group under multiplication. While 𝑄 ℚ is standard for all rationals (like 1/2, -3, 0, 0.75), 𝑄 * ℚ * excludes zero, important for division where you can't divide by zero.
The set of rational numbers is represented as Q. The use of the letter Q is because it's a “quotient” of two integers. The set of nonnegative rational numbers is represented as Q+, and the set of nonpos- itive rational numbers is represented as Q−.
Rational numbers are often denoted by Q. These numbers are a subset of the real numbers, which comprise the complete number line and are often denoted by R. Real numbers that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers are called irrational numbers.
p → q (p implies q) (if p then q) is the proposition that is false when p is true and q is false and true otherwise. Equivalent to “not p or q” Ex.
The Q notation is a way to specify the parameters of a binary fixed point number format. Specifically, how many bits are allocated for the integer portion, how many for the fractional portion, and whether there is a sign-bit. For example, in Q notation, Q7.
Mathematicians have a symbol that they use for the set of all rationals; namely, ℚ. The double-struck Q stands for "quotient", which is a helpful reminder that all fractions are divisions.
An implication is a conditional statement. For two propositions and , p → q is an implication which is read “if , then ”. You can also say “ implies ”.
Since the statement p -> q cannot be shown to be false when p is false, then the statement has to be true when p is false. The rules for the IMPLIES statement are: If p is true, then p -> q is true when q is true, and false when q is false.
The inverse of a statement is when the hypothesis and conclusion of a statement are both negated. For a statement p → q , the inverse is ¬ p → ¬ q , where the symbol means "not." The order of the hypothesis and the conclusion remains the same, but they are both negated.
The set of rational numbers are denoted by a "fancy Q", and the set of irrational numbers has had a few symbols used for it, at least according to this math StackExchange discussion.

Q+ is a group under multiplication. The product of two rational numbers is rational number: a b · c d = ac bd, a, b, c, d ∈ Z.
Z+ is the set of all positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), while Z- is the set of all negative integers (..., -3, -2, -1). Zero is not included in either of these sets .
For 7.47777...: This is a repeating decimal (the digit '7' repeats). Repeating decimals can be expressed as fractions, so this number is rational.
Conjunction of p and q, denoted by p∧q, is the proposition 'p and q'. The conjunction p ∧ q is True, when both p and q is True. Disjunction of p and q, denoted by p∨q, is the proposition 'p or q'. The disjunction p∨q is False when both p and q is False.
A logical tautology is a proposition or statement that is always true because it excludes no logical possibility. Logical tautologies don't express any meaningful claim about the world. They usually take the form of “either/or” statements (e.g., “It will happen or it won't”).
Horseshoe (⊃, \supset in TeX) is a symbol used to represent: Material conditional in propositional logic. Superset in set theory.
then here are four compound statements made from them:
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF LOGIC
If an argument is valid, then every argument with the same form is also valid. If an argument is invalid, then every argument with the same form is also invalid.
~(q∨~(p∧r))≅~q∧(~(~(p∧r)))≅q∧(p∧r)
⇒ (the implies sign) means “logically implies that”. (E.g., “if it's raining, then it's pouring” is equivalent to saying “it's raining ⇒ it's pouring.”) The history of this symbol is unclear. ⇐⇒ (the iff sign) means “if and only if” and is used to connect logically equivalent statements.
-3 = -3/1, a fraction of two integers. Identify this number as a rational number or an irrational number: 0.3333333333333. 0.33333... is a rational number.
In math, the capital letter Q is commonly used to represent the set of rational numbers, though this is typically depicted as ℚ with a double-struck or blackboard bold font, rather than a regular Q.
