Math A Review

Logic

Symbol  Math Word  Meaning  Rule 
Conjunction  AND  True only when both are true 
v  Disjunction  OR  False only when both are false 
-->  Conditional  If, Then (implies)  False only when True implies False 
<-->  Biconditional If and Only If, IFF True if both true or both false

 
Truth Values: A statement is true or false.
~Negation:    "not" changes the truth value of the statement. ex. p is true, ~p is false
  Changing conditionals (-->) to other forms

Name What to Do If -->then in words Symbols
Conditional Given in problem If p, then q p-->q
Converse Change Order If p, then q q<--p
Inverse Negate p & q If not p, then not q ~p-->~q
Contrapositive Change Order and Negate If not q, then not p ~q-->~p

Logically Equivalent:    Two compound statements that have the same truth value when compared with each other are logically equivalent.  To show logical equivalence using a truth table connect the two statements with the biconditional thus forming a tautology.
