L 2 Chapter 1 Logic and Proofs
Topics • Logic • Proposition • Compound proposition • Conjunction (AND) • Dis conjunction (OR) • And TRUE Table • Or TRUE Table • Not TRUE Table
Logic • The study of reasoning • Concerned with whether reasoning is correct or not. • Focuses on relationship as opposed to content of any particular statement. • Logic is used in math to prove Thermo. • Logic is used in computer programs to prove if a program does what it supposed to do.
Logic • When logic is used in math, a general method of proof is used called math induction. • Used throughout math and computer Science specially in discrete math.
Proposition (p) • A statement that is either True or False but not both. • Examples: • The Class starts at 12:00 • Jackie is over than 22 years old. • We will use p, q, r to perform propositions
Proposition • Proposition is a declarative statement not an order or a command. • Joe is single a proposition • Is Joe single? NOT a proposition • Are you single? NOT a proposition. • Do you homework. NOT a proposition • P: 1 + 4 = 10 T or F • P: it is cold T or F • q: it is raining T or F
Compound Proposition • In ordinary speeches we use the words AND & OR • p AND q is denoted as p ^ q • p or q is denoted as p v q Proposition resulted from combining the above propositions is called compound proposition.
Compound position • P: It is Cold and Raining (Cold ^ Raining) • Possibilities: • Cold and also Raining • Cold but not Raining • Not Cold but Raining • Not Cold and Not Raining • Same logic and similar propositions for (OR V) • P: It is Cold or Raining (Cold V Raining)
Conjunction and Disconjunction • Conjunction: • p and q • p && q • p ^ q • Disconjunction: • p or q • p || q • p V q
Negation (Not) • Denoted by the symbol ¬ • NOT p • ¬ p • ¬ q
The truth table for the compound proposition p^ q And truth p ^ q True is denoted by 1 and False is denoted by 0 If P: 5 + 6 = 10 q =7 Then p ^ q is F
The truth table for the compound proposition pV q And truth p V q True is denoted by 1 and False is denoted by 0 If P: 5 + 6 = 10 q =7 Then p V q is T
