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.
