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.
