The symbol
\lor, from the latin "vel", which means "or", is indeed the logical "or" operator.

This operator puts together two statements A and B, and
A\lor B is true whenever at least one between A and B is true.

So, in this case,
p \lor q is true whenever either p is true, or q is true, or both are true.

So, every number which is less than -3 or more than 3 makes
p \lor q true.

Mathematically, this is the same as claiming that
|x|>3
