Topics in Mathematical Reasoning
1
Statements and Truth Values
- A statement is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but not both
- Truth value: T (true) or F (false)
- Simple statements stand alone; compound statements combine multiple simple statements
2
Negation Operation
- Negation of statement p is written as ~p (read as 'not p')
- If p is true, then ~p is false; if p is false, then ~p is true
- Formed by inserting 'not' or writing 'It is false that...'
3
Logical Connectives - AND and OR
- AND (∧): True only when both components are true
- OR (∨): False only when both components are false
- AND is more restrictive than OR
4
Conditional Statements (If-Then)
- If p then q written as p → q
- False only when p is true and q is false
- p is hypothesis/antecedent, q is conclusion/consequent
