Study Notes
Predicate Logic
- Predicate logic is an extension of propositional logic that adds the concept of predicates and quantifiers to better capture the meaning of statements.
- It is used to deal with quantified variables and statements that cannot be adequately expressed by propositional logic.
Propositional Logic
- Propositional logic is used to validate the form of an argument that takes us from premises to a conclusion.
- It cannot be used to establish the truth of a proposition that isn't given as a premise or which can't be inferred by the laws of inference.
- There are five types of compound sentences in propositional logic: negations, conjunctions, disjunctions, implications, and biconditionals.
- Propositional symbols represent sentences about the world, which can be either true or false.
- There are three types of persuasive propositions: propositions of fact, value, or policy.
Optimization Algorithms
- Optimization algorithms are used to find the best possible solution to a given problem.
- The goal of an optimization algorithm is to find the optimal solution that minimizes or maximizes a given objective function.
- Optimization methods are used to find the optimal solution.
Algorithm Efficiency
- There are two kinds of algorithm efficiency: space efficiency and time efficiency.
- Features of an efficient algorithm include:
- Exact steps to precisely specify what to do at each step.
- Well-ordered steps with a concretely defined order of operations.
- Feasibility, meaning all steps are possible and effectively computable.
- Efficiency and effectiveness are different: effectiveness measures the quality of results, while efficiency measures the speed and resources used.
Logical Gates
- Boolean algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with operations on logical values with binary variables.
- Boolean variables are represented as binary numbers: 1 = TRUE and 0 = FALSE.
- Elementary algebra deals with numerical operations, whereas Boolean algebra deals with logical operations.
- Boolean algebra is used in computer programming languages and is fundamental in the development of digital electronics systems.
- Boolean algebra operations include:
- Negation or NOT Operation
- Conjunction or AND Operation
- Disjunction or OR Operation
- These operations have their own symbols and precedence.
Specific Gates
- OR gate: performs the logical addition of its inputs, output is high (1) if any one or both inputs are high (1).
- NAND gate: the output is high (1) if any one of the inputs is zero (0).
- NOR gate: the output is high (1) if all inputs are low (0).
- EX-OR gate: the output is high (1) if the inputs are different.
- EX-NOR gate: the output is high (1) if the inputs are the same.
Turing Machine
- Turing Machine was invented by Alan Turing in 1936.
- It is used to accept Recursive Enumerable Languages (generated by Type-0 Grammar).
- Turing machines are a fundamental concept in the theory of computation and play an important role in computer science.
