Study Notes
Logical Operations
- Propositional logic deals with statements that are either true or false.
- Propositional variables (A, B, C) represent these statements.
-
Logical connectives link propositions:
- Disjunction (∨): "A or B" is true if at least one of A or B is true. Inclusive or.
- Conjunction (∧): "A and B" is true if both A and B are true.
- Negation (¬): "Not A" is true if A is false.
- Implication (⇒): "If A then B" is false only if A is true and B is false.
- Biconditional (⇔): "A if and only if B" is true if both A and B have the same truth value.
Properties of Logical Operations
- Idempotence: A ∨ A = A and A ∧ A = A
- Associativity: (A ∨ B) ∨ C = A ∨ (B ∨ C) and (A ∧ B) ∧ C = A ∧ (B ∧ C)
- Commutativity: A ∨ B = B ∨ A and A ∧ B = B ∧ A
- Absorption: (A ∨ B) ∧ A = A and (A ∧ B) ∨ A = A
- De Morgan's Laws: ¬(A ∨ B) = ¬A ∧ ¬B and ¬(A ∧ B) = ¬A ∨ ¬B
- Distributivity: A ∧ (B ∨ C) = (A ∧ B) ∨ (A ∧ C) and A ∨ (B ∧ C) = (A ∨ B) ∧ (A ∨ C)
Inference Rules
- Law of contrapositive: (A ⇒ B) ⇔ (¬B ⇒ ¬A)
- Modus ponens: ((A ⇒ B) ∧ A) ⇒ B
- Syllogism: ((A ⇒ B) ∧ (B ⇒ C)) ⇒ (A ⇒ C)
- Biconditional: ((A ⇒ B) ∧ (B ⇒ A)) ⇔ (A ⇔ B)
Types of "Or"
- Inclusive or: True if at least one of A or B is true (e.g., "Jazz or rock music").
- Exclusive or: True if exactly one of A or B is true (e.g., "Turn left or right").
- Conflicting or: True if at most one of A or B is true (e.g., "Drink or drive!").
Russell's Paradox
- A paradox highlighting inconsistencies in set theory.
- Involves the concept of "good sets" and "bad sets".
- A set of all good sets raises a contradiction. Defining a set of all sets that are not members of themselves leads to a paradox.
Sets
- Empty Set: A set with no elements (∅ or {}).
- Subset: Set A is a subset of B (A ⊆ B) if every element of A is also an element of B.
- Proper Subset: Set A is a proper subset of B (A ⊂ B) if A is a subset of B and A is not equal to B.
- System of Sets: A set where all the members are themselves sets.
Power Set
- Definition: The set of all subsets of a set A, denoted as 2A or P(A).
- Notation: |A| represents the number of elements in a set A.
- Proposition: |2A| = 2|A| (the number of subsets of a finite set is 2 to the power of the number of elements)
