Krantz's A Primer of Mathematical Writing goes into great length regarding how a mathematical definition is constructed: https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.04888
For example, see page 15 for using the construction "Let xxx be a xxx" to introduce variables. See p. 76 for the use of "if" in place of "if and only if" in definitions. Any text on proof writing or intro to abstract mathematics should also describe the use of quantifiers in definitions. Alsosaid1987 (talk) 19:10, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
