1.1 Mathematical Statements OPERATIONS: Connectives

n statements that can be assigned a 1. Conjunction “p and q” : p∧q


universal truth value (TRUE or FALSE),
but not both. 2. Disjunction “ p or q” : p∨q

n Symbol: lower case lePers 3. Conditional “If p then q” : p→q

p, q, r, s, ... 4. Biconditional “p if and only if q” : p ↔ q


5. Negation “not p” : ∼p

20 23

Examples: The Conjunction p ∧ q

n p: 1 + 1 = 2 (TRUE) n p ∧ q is true only if BOTH p and q are


n q: 2 + 3 = 6 (FALSE) true. Otherwise, it is false.

n r: All roses are red.


n Examples:

n s: Jose Rizal is our na(onal hero. 1. 1 + 1 = 2 and today is Wednesday.


2. Clouds are pink and today is Tuesday.

21 24
The Disjunction p ∨ q The Biconditional p ↔ q

n p ∨ q is true if at least one statement


(p, q or both) is true. It is false only if
both statements are false.
The bicondi(onal means two things:
n Examples:
(p → q) and (q → p)
1. 1 + 1 = 2 or today is Friday.
2. Clouds are pink or today is Thursday.
25 28

The Conditional p → q The Biconditional p ↔ q

n p ↔ q is true if p and q have the SAME


TRUTH VALUE.
Examples:
n p is called the premise n

1. 1 + 1 = 2 if and only if today is


n q is called the conclusion Wednesday.
2. The clouds are purple if and only if
today is Thursday.
26 29

The Conditional p → q The Negation ∼p


n p → q is FALSE only when the premise
p is true and the conclusion q is false.
Otherwise, it is true. n If p is true, ∼p is false.
n Examples:
n If p is false, ∼p is true.
1. If 1 + 1 = 2, then today is Wednesday.
2. If today is Thursday, then clouds are
green.

truth value of the following:
