∙ 11y agoThe negation of a statement is the opposite proposition to the original statement. Specifically, exactly one of the negation and the original proposition must be true, not both or neither. In mathematical analysis, "for all" quantifiers must be replaced with "existential" quantifiers and visa versa, among other things.
A worded example.
Let P represent the proposition "All real numbers have a non-negative square".
The negation ¬P is "There exists a real number with a negative square". Negations are useful, even when trying to prove the original proposition as we can use a proof by contradiction to falsify the negation instead of proving P directly. For example here, ¬P coincides to x^2=-c for some positive constant c. continuing, we get that x=sqrt(-c). which is a contradiction as the square-root of a negative number does not exist in the reals hence proving P.
