Antisymmetric Relations | Discrete Mathematics

We introduce antisymmetric relations, with definitions, examples, and non-examples. Is a relation being antisymmetric the same as being not symmetric? Can a relation be symmetric and antisymmetric? Can a relation be neither symmetric nor antisymmetric? We answer all these questions. #DiscreteMath

Correction: At 1:30, the divides relation should have (2, 6) in it.

Oh man, I was having the hardest time understanding why some guy was saying that this relation is Antisymmetric. This cleared it up so much! Thank you <3

[Yahya-gbzn]

I have been sitting here for an hour trying to understand this concept, and you just nailed it!

[jingyiwang]

This is such an amazing video! I have been confused with this point for a really long time. I finally understand it. I am really grateful for your clear explanation!😀

[changggul]

just found out that this video was posted 3 days ago, and I have exam about this 30 minutes laterr!! YOU HELPED ME A LOT! Thank you!

[the.graduate]

Another masterpiece!❤ Thanks for answering my basic question, too! I'll be back for more!

[slasankautube]

Perfect explanation in few second, i have solve all my problems from your single video, thanks lot bro

[satabd]

Very clear, thank you, It helps my son to understand this subject

[tasnovashahrin]

Thank <3
I was so confused about this anti-symmetric relation..You just made it super easy. Keep it up!!

[ARSH]

Greeting from Mauritius island...thanks so much for the video man, it really clear things for me😇

[bimbomariano]

But sir, in your first example given set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, how did (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6) become antisymmetric?

[YuFow]

Fantastic, cleared all of my confusion within the first minute, thank you so much!

[ClamChowderSoup]

Thank god for this. I kept having trouble due to the x=y condition. I thought it was something necessary in order for things be antisymmetric. Turns out it’s just there for a disclaimer on reflexive pairs

[rickgrimes]

Holy Maths! This channel is magnificent!

[arimaulanaid]

Thank you for the explaination, now i get that not-symmetric and anti-symmetric is a different thing.

[twolip]

I've heard of another term 'asymmetric'. Whats the difference between antisymmetric and asymmetric?
Also, thankyou so much for explanation🙌🙌

[sourabshaik]

Finals Tomorrow! your channel is so helpful, thanks a ton!

[maxwong]

Ty very much for the help! Really appreciate the work u put in!

{(-2, 2), (-1, 1)}

is it symmetric? is it antisymmetric?

[白小雪]

Why two distinct element is never related but still consider symmetry?
