Study Notes

Compound Statements

  • A compound statement is a statement formed by combining two or more statements using logical connectives.
  • The logical connectives used to combine statements are: AND, OR, NOT, IF...THEN, etc.
  • Understanding compound statements and their implications is crucial in various mathematical and logical applications.

Venn Diagrams

  • Venn diagrams are used to visualize the relationships between sets.
  • Circles or other shapes represent sets, overlapping regions represent common elements.
  • Venn diagrams are valuable tools in set theory and probability studies.

Conjunctions

  • A conjunction is a compound statement formed using the logical connective AND.
  • A conjunction is true only if both component statements are true; otherwise, it is false.
  • Conjunctions are denoted by the symbol ∧.

Disjunctions

  • A disjunction is a compound statement using the logical connective OR.
  • A disjunction is true if at least one of the component statements is true.
  • A disjunction is false only if both component statements are false.
  • Disjunctions are denoted by the symbol ∨.

Implications

  • An implication is a compound statement formed using the IF...THEN connective.
  • The statement "IF p THEN q" is symbolized as p→q, where p is the antecedent (hypothesis) and q is the consequent (conclusion).
  • An implication is false only when the antecedent is true and the consequent is false.
