Study Notes
Propositional Logic
- Logic outlines the rules for understanding mathematical statements.
- These rules differentiate between valid and invalid mathematical arguments.
- Logic is crucial in understanding and constructing correct mathematical arguments.
- It has applications in computer science, such as:
- Design of computer circuits
- Construction of computer programs
- Verification of program correctness
- Software systems for automated proof construction
- A proposition is a statement that is either true or false, but not both.
- Examples of propositions include:
- Washington, D.C., is the capital of the United States of America. (True)
- Toronto is the capital of Canada. (False)
- 1 + 1 = 2. (True)
- 2 + 2 = 3. (False)
