Equivalence

Equivalence refers to a situation where two things are considered equal in value, function, or meaning, even if they appear different. For example, two different recipes may produce dishes that taste equally good, or two math expressions may have the same result. In logic and mathematics, equivalence means that two statements are true or false under the same conditions, making them interchangeable in reasoning. It’s about recognizing different forms or representations that effectively convey the same underlying concept or outcome.
