2 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators ruth unction - the truth-value of any compound proposition determined solely by the truth-value of its components. Statement Variable - a variable that represents any proposition (by convention we use lower-case letters p, q, r, s, etc.). ruth able - a calculation matrix used to demonstrate all logically possible truth-values of a given proposition. Let any statement be represented by p: p p

Statement Variable - any variable that represents a proposition (by convention we use lower-case letters p, q, r, s, etc.). ruth able - a calculation matrix used to demonstrate all logically possible truth-values of a given proposition. his is the negation of any proposition p. Negation ~ opposite truth values p ~ p

5 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Conjunction p q p q number of lines equals 2 to the? power of the number of propositions L=2 n 2 2 = 4
6 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Conjunction p q p q both are true
7 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Disjunction p q p q at least one is true
8 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Material Equivalence p q p q equivalent truth values

10 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Material Implication in all cases except when the antecedent is true and the consequent is false If you get an A on the final exam, then you will pass Logic. (Getting an A on the final is sufficient to pass Logic.) I got an A on the final! Why did you fail me? If you get an A on the final exam, then you will pass Logic.

12 ruth ables Part 2 - ruth ables for Compound Propositions Method 1.b - if you already know the truth-values of the components (the short method) suppose A, B, and C are true, and D, E, and are false (A D)

14 Logical Status of Propositions I. hree types of Logical statements: A. Logically rue (tautologies) - always true B. Logically alse (self-contradiction) - always false C. Logically Contingent (truth-value dependent) - sometimes true/false
15 Logical Status of Propositions autology (logically true) p p ~ p every case is true
16 Logical Status of Propositions Self- Contradiction (logically false) p p ~ p every case is false
