CHAPTER II : Fundamentals of Logic


1 BASIC CONNECTIVES AND TRUTH TABLES

·

Definitions of Terminologies :




statement proposition declarative sentence ,
either

True or False ,
but not both

eX .




p (denotation of a statement) : Discrete Math is a required
course for sophomores
Truth Values : True or False

r = 2 + 3 = 5

Truth Values : True or False

note :


Primitive statements simple statements cannot be simplified
we usually use small alphabets to denote primitive
statements

new statements can be constructed from primitive ones in

2
ways :



1 the negation of a primitive statement

p or ~p (read as "not p" (
2 form a compound statement by logic connections
I statements formed by logic connections
Compound statements from primitive statements (
·

conjunction :


(
""
"AND" (represented by
ex . p and 9 , p q
·

Disjunction :

""
"OR" (represented by (
ex . por g or both p q
,

·
Exclusive OR :


11
represented

by
ex . p or
a, ph

p implies & if p then a ,
p G /



p is sufficient (condition) for 9 9 is necessary

Biconditional :

represented by >

ex if and only if & iff & P

1 .
If it is sunny today ,
then we will go to the beach

F T =
T

2 If it is Friday today ,
then 2 + 3 =
5

F T = T

. If it is Friday today ,
then 2 + 3 = 6

F F =
T

.
4 Let s ,
+ ,
u denote the following statements :



s : Sam goes out for a walk

t: The moon is out

U : It is snowing

, Translate the following compound statements :



a( + u) S

·

If the moon is out and it is not snowing then Sam goes
out for a walk

b (s(n + )
·
It is not the case that Sam goes out for a walk if and
if it is snowing the is
only or moon out

C + (us)
·
If the moon is out ,
then if it isn't snowing (then)
Sam goes out for a walk
