Study Notes
Propositional Logic
- A proof is a valid argument that establishes the truth of a statement or theorem.
- Proofs can use hypotheses, axioms, and previously proven theorems.
- Direct, vacuous and trivial proofs are covered in the document.
Direct Proof
- A direct proof shows that a conditional statement (p → q) is true by showing that if p is true, then q must also be true.
- It assumes p is true and uses axioms, definitions, and previously proven theorems to show that q must also be true.
Vacuous Proof
- A vacuous proof quickly proves the truth of a conditional statement (p → q) when p is known to be false.
- In this case, the statement is automatically true.
Trivial Proof
- A trivial proof quickly proves a conditional statement (p → q) when q is known to be true.
- In this case, the statement will always be true.
Logic Puzzles
- Logic puzzles can be solved using logical reasoning and are useful for illustrating the capabilities of computer programs designed for logical reasoning.
Validity of Arguments
- Compound values that have the same truth values in all possible combinations are logically equivalent.
- If p and q are logically equivalent, then p ↔ q is a tautology.
Logic Circuits
- A bit, or binary digit, is a basic unit of information in computing and digital communications.
- Bits have two possible values: 0 (false) and 1 (true).
- Bit 0 is also called a low logic level signal, and bit 1 is a high logic level signal.
Inverter or NOT Gate
- Changes the value of a bit from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1.
AND Gate
- The output is high only if both inputs are high. Otherwise, the output is low.
OR Gate
- The output is high when either or both inputs are high. Otherwise, the output is low.
