4 अनिवार्य पूर्वापेक्षाएँ (बिल्कुल नीचे तक)

आप सीखेंगे

  • Build truth tables for compound statements and use them to test logical equivalence.
  • Distinguish an implication from its converse, inverse and contrapositive.
  • Negate compound and quantified statements, including implications.

परिभाषा

  • P → Q is false only when P is true and Q is false.
  • Two formulas are logically equivalent if they have the same truth value under every assignment of truth values to their variables.
  • A tautology is a formula that is true under every assignment.

प्रमेय

  • P → Q is logically equivalent to its contrapositive ¬Q → ¬P, but not to its converse Q → P.
  • De Morgan's laws: ¬(P ∧ Q) ≡ ¬P ∨ ¬Q and ¬(P ∨ Q) ≡ ¬P ∧ ¬Q.
  • ¬(P → Q) ≡ P ∧ ¬Q.

आम भ्रांतियाँ

  • Thinking an implication with a false hypothesis is false; it is true.
  • Treating the converse of an implication as equivalent to it.
  • Reading 'if P then Q' as claiming that P causes Q.

वैकल्पिक खोजें

  • Computational complexity Deciding whether a propositional formula is satisfiable (SAT) was the first problem proved NP-complete (Cook–Levin theorem).
  • Type theory and propositions as types In constructive logic and type theory, a proof of P → Q is a method turning proofs of P into proofs of Q, and P ∨ ¬P is not assumed as a law.
