Study Notes

Propositional Logic

  • Propositional logic is a branch of logic that deals with propositions and their relationships.
  • A proposition is a statement that is either true or false.
  • Examples of propositions include:
    • The moon is made of green cheese. (False)
    • Makkah is the Holy City of Islam. (True)
    • Madina is the capital of Saudi Arabia. (False)
    • 1 + 0 = 1. (True)
    • 0 + 0 = 2. (False)
  • Examples that are not propositions include commands, questions, and open sentences.
    • Sit down!
    • What time is it?
    • x + 1 = 2.

Agenda

  • Agenda for the course includes:
    • Propositions
    • Connectives (negation, conjunction, disjunction)
    • Truth Tables

Connectives

  • Negation: The negation of a proposition p is denoted by ¬p, and is read as "not p". Its truth table shows that if p is true, ¬p is false; and if p is false, ¬p is true.

  • Conjunction: The conjunction of propositions p and q is denoted by p∧q, and is read as "p and q". Its truth table shows that p∧q is only true when both p and q are true; otherwise, it is false.

  • Disjunction: The disjunction of propositions p and q is denoted by p∨q, and is read as "p or q". Its truth table shows that p∨q is true when either p or q is true, or both; it is only false when both p and q are false.

  • Inclusive or: In certain contexts "or" means at least one of p or q is true, or both are true.

  • Exclusive or: In other contexts, "or" means exactly one of p or q is true, but not both.

Truth Tables

  • Truth tables list all possible values of the propositional variables in a compound proposition, showing how the compound proposition's truth value depends on the truth values of its parts. Each variable can be either True or False.
  • The number of rows in a truth table with n variables is 2n.

Compound Propositions: Negation

  • The negation of a proposition p is denoted by ¬p.
  • Example: The earth is round. ¬p: It is not the case that the earth is round, or The earth is not round.

Compound Propositions: Conjunction

  • The conjunction of propositions p and q is denoted by p∧q.
  • Example: If p is "I am at home" and q is "It is raining," then p∧q is "I am at home and it is raining."

Compound Propositions: Disjunction

  • The disjunction of propositions p and q is denoted by p∨q.
  • Example: If p is "I am at home" and q is "It is raining," then p∨q is "I am at home or it is raining."

Exclusive Or (XOR)

  • The exclusive or (XOR) of propositions p and q is denoted by p⊕q.
  • One of p and q must be true, but not both.

Implication

  • If p and q are propositions, then p→q is a conditional statement or implication, read as "if p, then q."
  • It has a specific truth table.
  • In p→q, p is the hypothesis (if-part) and q is the conclusion (then-part).

Understanding Implication

  • The meaning of p→q depends only on the truth values of p and q, not on any real-world connection between them.
  • Examples can be constructed that seem nonsensical in everyday language but are valid logical implications.

Different Ways of Expressing p→q

  • Various ways to express the conditional implication p→q using different phrases, including "if...then," "implies," "only if".
