For instance, here's definition 16 of the Ethereum Yellow Paper:

Does $wedge$ simply mean a concatenation of statements? Like the logic gate AND?

$wedge$ is exactly 'and' in this context. $vee$ means 'or'. You can notice the similarity both in form and meaning with $cap$ and $cup$ from set theory.



In differential geometry, $omega_1wedgeomega_2$ also means the wedge product of two differential forms.

    $wedge$ is (most often) the mathematical symbol for logical conjunction, which is equivalent to the AND operator you're used to.



    Similarly $vee$ is (most often) logical disjunction, which would be equivalent to the OR operator.

      Yes, this symbol is generally used to denote AND. See the wikipedia article on Logical Conjunction:




      $ Aland B$ is true only if $A$ is true and $B$ is true




      Similarly, we use $ Alor B$ to mean $A$ OR $B$ (logical disjunction).

Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane.
