The world of converse and inverse statments

Everyone who has had geometry has seen these annoying, weirdly written statements, such as:
"If you live in Salt Lake City, then you live in Utah." or "If you live in Utah, you live in Salt Lake City."

The later is incorrect but we call that the converse statement. This can get a bit fuzzy, but that is why I am supplying this blog post, to help students and others out on how to deal with these statements. Oh and yes, they do come back in Calc!
