Introduction to Inequality Symbols in Mathematics

The video tutorial introduces the concept of inequalities, explaining the difference between equations and inequalities. It covers the various inequality symbols, such as greater than, less than, and their combinations with equality. The tutorial uses examples to illustrate how these symbols are applied in mathematical expressions, emphasizing the importance of understanding which side of the inequality is larger. Special cases, such as when variables can be equal, are also discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of how inequalities are used in mathematics.
