Study Notes
Introduction to Logic
- A proposition is a closed sentence that is true or false but not both.
- Open sentences are sentences whose truth cannot be determined due to variable elements.
- Basic logical connectives include negation (~), conjunction (^), disjunction (v), and conditional (->).
Properties of Conjunctions/Disjunctions
- Associative Property: (p ^ q) ^ r = p ^ (q ^ r) for conjunction, and similar for disjunction.
- Commutative Property: p ^ q = q ^ p for conjunction, and similar for disjunction.
- Distributive Property: p ^ (q v r) = (p ^ q) v (p ^ r) and p v (q ^ r) = (p v q) ^ (p v r).
- De Morgan's Laws: ~(p ^ q) = ~p v ~q and ~(p v q) = ~p ^ ~q.
Conditional Statements
- p (hypothesis/antecedent) and q (conclusion/consequent) are parts of conditional statements.
- The inverse: ~p -> ~q
- The converse: q -> p
- The contrapositive: ~q -> ~p
Biconditionals
- A biconditional is a conjunction of a condition and its converse (p -> q) ^ (q -> p) or p ↔ q.
- Every definition is a biconditional.
- A tautology is always true.
- A contradiction is always false.
Laws of Logic
- Law of the Excluded Middle: p or not p
- Law of Contradiction: p and not p cannot both be true
- Law of Double Negation: ~ (~p) = p
- Law of Simplification: if p and q, then p
- Law of Disjunctive Addition: If p, then p or q
- Law of Disjunctive Elimination: if p or q and not q is true, then p must be true.
- Law of Transposition: if p then q is the same as, if not q then not p.
- Law of Modus Ponens (detachment): If p then q and p is true, then q is true
- Law of Modus Tollens: If p then q and not q are true, then not p must be true
- Law of Syllogism: if p then q and if q then r, then if p then r
Writing Logic Proofs
- Two-column proofs are used in logic proofs: statements and reasons.
- Information such as givens and what needs proving should be given
- Cite previous statement used to support new statement in parentheses.
- Write a conclusion after the final step
- Every statement in a logic proof should be true.
Introduction to Geometry
- A point is a position in space, represented by a dot.
- Points are denoted with capital letters.
- A line has no width and can be extended infinitely in either direction.
- A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in two dimensions.
- Lines, points, and segments that are on the same plane are coplanar.
First Postulates
- Basic geometric axioms (postulates) are foundational statements of geometry.
- Points determine lines; lines contain points.
- Distance is a unique positive number between points.
- Segment equality can be asserted.
- Angles are measurable, using degrees.
- Rays and angles can be constructed.
Properties of Equality and Congruence
- Reflexive Property: Every value is equal to itself; Likewise, every segment/angle is congruent to itself .
- Transitive Property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c; Likewise, if segment a is congruent to segment b and segment b is congruent to segment c, then segment a is congruent to segment c.
- Symmetric Property: If a = b, then b = a; Likewise, if segment a is congruent to segment b, then segment b is congruent to segment a.
