Study Notes
- An inference is drawing conclusions from available evidence
- In logic, a rule of inference is a logical form that takes premises, analyzes their syntax, and returns a conclusion
Modus Ponens
- If P then Q.
- P is true.
- Therefore, Q is true.
- Example: If it's raining, there are clouds. It's raining. Therefore, there are clouds.
Modus Tollens
- If P then Q.
- Q is false.
- Therefore, P is false.
- Example: If it's raining, there are clouds. There are no clouds. Therefore, it is not raining.
Hypothetical Syllogism
- If P then Q.
- If Q then R.
- Therefore, if P then R.
- Example: If I study, I will pass the exam. If I pass, I'll get a good job. Therefore, if I study, I'll get a good job.
Disjunctive Syllogism
- P or Q is true.
- P is false.
- Therefore, Q is true.
- Example: I'm either home or at work. I'm not home. Therefore, I am at work.
Addition
- P is true.
- Therefore, P or Q is true.
- Example: It's raining. Therefore, it's raining or snowing.
Simplification
- P and Q are true.
- Therefore, P is true.
- Example: It's raining and snowing. Therefore, it's raining.
Conjunction
- P is true.
- Q is true.
- Therefore, P and Q are true.
- Example: It's raining. It's snowing. Therefore, it's raining and snowing.
Resolution
- P or Q is true.
- Not P or R is true.
- Therefore, Q or R is true.
- Example: I'm either home or at work. I'm either not home or on vacation. Therefore, I'm either at work or on vacation.
Quantifiers
Universal Generalization (UG)
- If $P(a)$ is true for any arbitrary element $a$ of the domain, then $\forall x P(x)$ is true.
Universal Instantiation (UI)
- If $\forall x P(x)$ is true, then $P(a)$ is true for any element $a$ of the domain.
Existential Generalization (EG)
- If $P(a)$ is true for some element $a$ of the domain, then $\exists x P(x)$ is true.
Existential Instantiation (EI)
- If $\exists x P(x)$ is true, then $P(a)$ is true for some element $a$ of the domain.
