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

4 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Conjunction p q p q

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

9 ruth ables Part 1 - ruth unctions for Logical Operators Material Implication p q p q in all cases except when the antecedent is true and the consequent is false

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.

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

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)

13 ruth ables Part 3 - ruth ables for Compound Propositions Method 2 - if you do not know the actual truth value of the components, solve for all possible worlds A D (A D) line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 L=2 3 line 5 line 6 line 7 line 8

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

17 Logical Status of Propositions Contingent (logically dependent) p q p q variable truth-value

18 II. Logical Relations between two statements: A. Contradictory - opposite truth-values p q (p q) (p ~ q) Propositional Logic Logical Relationships Between Propositions

19 II. Logical Relations between statements: A. Contradictory - opposite truth-values B. Equivalent - identical truth-values p q (p q) :: (~q ~ p) Propositional Logic Logical Relationships Between Propositions

20 Logical Relationships Between Propositions II. Logical Relations between statements: A. Contradictory - opposite truth-values B. Equivalent - identical truth-values C. Consistent - at least one common (true) truth-value p q (p q) (p q)

21 Logical Relationships Between Propositions II. Logical Relations between statements: A. Contradictory - opposite truth-values B. Equivalent - identical truth-values C. Consistent - at least one common (true) truth-value D. Inconsistent - no common (true) truth-value p q (p q) (p ~ q)

22 Logical Relationships Between 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 II. Logical Relations between statements: A. Contradictory - opposite truth-values B. Equivalent - identical truth-values C. Consistent - at least one common (true) truth-value D. Inconsistent - no common (true) truth-value

Separate each proposition (premises and conclusion) with slashes on a single one C. ill in truth values (just as you would for a compound proposition) D. Look for a line with true premises and false conclusion

But it s not the case that they deserve the death penalty. So, minors are not equally responsible for their crimes. M D M D / ~ D // ~ M Valid (modus tollens)
