propositions

    Cards (46)

    • Logical connectives
      Symbols, words used to combine propositions
    • 1+1=1, 1+0=0
    • Conditional
      If then
    • At least 1=1
    • Biconditional
      If and only if
    • Both T/F=1
    • Proposition
      Statements that can be either true or false
    • Types of propositions
      • Atomic proposition
      • Compound proposition
    • Atomic proposition
      Statement that's either true or false and denoted by variables (p,q,r). Single statement, indivisible.
    • Compound proposition
      Combination of one or more atomic propositions with the help of connectives
    • Conditional statement (implication) can also be denoted as ⇒
    • Number of rows in a truth table is 2^n, where n is the number of variables
    • Rows in a truth table represent all possible combinations of true and false values
    • A disjunctive proposition presents alternatives, indicating that at least one of the options is true.
    • A hypothetical proposition expresses a conditional relationship, typically using an "if-then" structure.
    • A proposition is an expression that can be true or false
    • The truth value of a proposition depends on the world it's evaluated in
    • Propositional logic deals with statements, not objects
    • Propositional logic deals with propositions, their truth values, and how they relate to one another
    • The negation operator changes the value of a proposition from true to false or vice versa.
    • Disjunction represents an inclusive OR operation, meaning both options may be true simultaneously.
    • Conjunction combines two or more statements into a single compound proposition.
    • The negation operator changes the truth value of a proposition from true to false or vice versa.
    • An existential proposition affirms the existence of something, often expressed through quantifiers such as "there exists."
    • The negation of a proposition is formed by adding the word 'not' to it
    • A universal proposition makes a general claim about everything within its scope, usually indicated by phrases like "for all" or "everything."
    • We can combine these symbols into more complex expressions called formulas
    • Formulas are built up from atomic propositions by applying logical connectives like conjunction (∧), disjunction (∨), negation (¬)
    • We use connectives to combine propositions into more complex expressions
    • Conditional (→) represents a material implication between two propositions, where if the first proposition is true then the second proposition must also be true.
    • Disjunction (∨) combines two propositions into a single compound proposition whose truth value is determined by at least one component proposition being true.
    • Conjunction (∧) combines two propositions into a single compound proposition whose truth value is determined by both component propositions being true.
    • Connectives are used to create new propositions from existing ones
    • In propositional logic, we use symbols (propositional variables) to represent propositions
    • Compound propositions are formed by combining simpler propositions with logical connectives such as conjunction (∧), disjunction (∨), negation (¬)
    • In propositional logic, we use symbols to stand for propositions
    • Implication represents a conditional statement, where if the first condition is true, then the second condition must also be true.
    • Conditional is used when there are two propositions that have some sort of relationship between them.
    • Conjunction represents an AND operation, where all conditions must be met for the statement to be true.
    • Equivalence represents two expressions being equivalent, meaning they have the same truth value.
