Logic and Bit Operations

Logic is the discipline that deals with methods of reasoning.
Logic provides rules and techniques for determining validity of arguments.
Computers use bits (0 or 1) to represent information.
Bitwise operations (OR, AND, XOR) are used to manipulate information in programming languages.

Applications of Propositional Logic

Includes translating English sentences, system specifications, Boolean searches, logic puzzles, and logic circuits.
Translating English sentences into logical expressions removes ambiguity.
Logic circuits use gates (OR, AND, inverter) to create more complex digital circuits.

Predicates and Quantifiers

Quantifiers express the extent to which a predicate is true over a range of elements (universal, existential, uniqueness).
Universal quantification (∀x P(x)) means that P(x) is true for all values of x in the domain.
Existential quantification (∃x P(x)) means that there exists an element x in the domain such that P(x) is true.
Uniqueness quantification (∃!x P(x)/ ∃₁x P(x)), means there exists a unique x for which P(x) is true.
Negating quantified expressions involves changing the quantifier and negating the predicate (∀x P(x) becomes ∃x ¬P(x), and ∃x P(x) becomes ∀x ¬P(x)).
