Study Notes
Mathematical Logic
- Mathematical Logic is a branch of mathematics connected to computer science.
- It encompasses both the study of logic and applications of formal logic in various mathematical areas.
- Emphasizes precision and conciseness in mathematical language.
Logic Statements and Their Types
- Logic statements are types of sentences that include declarative statements, questions, and commands.
- A statement is defined as a declarative sentence that can be classified as either true or false.
- Example of a true statement: “Florida is a state in the United States.”
- Example of a question: “How are you?” (not a statement).
- Example of an open statement: ( x + 1 = 5 ) (true for ( x=4 ) only).
Connectives and Symbols
- Logic connectives combine statements to create compound statements.
- Common connectives include:
- Negation (~): “not p”
- Conjunction (˄): “p and q”
- Disjunction (˅): “p or q”
- Conditional (→): “If p, then q”
- Biconditional (↔): “p if and only if q”
Truth Values and Truth Tables
- Truth value can be either True (T) or False (F).
- Truth table displays truth values of compound statements based on the truth values of simple statements.
Negation
- Negation involves creating a statement that is the opposite of another.
- Symbolically, if ( p ) is true, then ( \sim p ) is false and vice versa.
- Example: “Today is Friday” negates to “Today is not Friday.”
Compound Statements in Symbolic Logic
- Symbolic representations of complex statements include:
- ( p \land q ): Today is Friday and it is raining.
- ( \sim q \land r ): It is not raining and I am going to a movie.
- ( \sim s \lor r ): I am going to the basketball game or I am going to a movie.
Logical Connectives and Their Functions
- Connectives allow the construction of compound propositions.
- Disjunction ( p \lor q ) is true unless both statements are false.
- Conditional ( p \to q ) is false only when ( p ) is true and ( q ) is false.
- Biconditional ( p \leftrightarrow q ) is true when both statements are either true or false.
Hypothesis and Conclusion
- In “if-then” statements, the part after "if" is the hypothesis, and after "then" is the conclusion.
- Example: “If two angles are right angles, then they are equal.”
- Identifying hypothesis and conclusion aids in understanding logical relationships.
Inverse, Converse, and Contrapositive
- Inverse: Negate both hypothesis and conclusion (e.g., (\sim p \to \sim q)).
- Converse: Reverse hypothesis and conclusion (e.g., (q \to p)).
- Contrapositive: Switch and negate both (e.g., (\sim q \to \sim p)).
Truth Table Construction
- Truth tables illustrate the validity of logical statements through systematic listing of truth values based on logical conditions.
- Important for analyzing compound statements in logic.
These concise notes encapsulate essential concepts, definitions, and examples from mathematical logic and its applications.
