Study Notes
Symbolic Logic
- The main goal of symbolic logic is to express logical ideas in a precise and concise manner using symbols and rules.
Chapter One Overview
- The first part of Chapter One focuses on sets and their operations.
Sets in Chapter One
- The key objective related to sets in this chapter is to understand set operations such as union, intersection, and difference.
Acronyms
- MOSHE stands for Monotonicity, Omniscience, Sincerity, Humility, and Exhaustiveness.
- SEPTEMBER represents the seven characteristics of a valid argument: Sufficiency, Exhaustiveness, Precision, Tautology, Embodiment, Relevant, and Evidence.
Propositions
- A proposition is a statement that is either true or false.
- The sentence "The sky is blue" is an example of a proposition.
- What distinguishes a proposition from questions, commands, and exclamations is that it has a truth value.
Classical Symbolic Logic
- In symbolic logic, the key characteristic of 'classical' symbolic logic is that it is based on two truth values: true or false.
Declarative Sentences
- The main difference between declarative sentences and non-declarative sentences is that declarative sentences express a complete thought and can be either true or false, whereas non-declarative sentences such as questions, commands, and exclamations do not express a complete thought and do not have a truth value.
