[BlindMath] Looking for introductory material on probability

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello Jonathan,
Three newbie questions:
1. What is | in: P(A|B) Is it an "or" operator? I'm not sure how to compute
A|B as | is not an operator I have encountered other than as an or
opperator "a || b == true".
2. What does ⋂ mean? I've never seen that symbol. P(A|B)=P(A⋂B)P(B)
3. When P(A) is shown, does that mean p times a, or the
probability function called on a?
Thank you,
