## Proposition A proposition (or assertion) is a sentence that can be a math or anything else that can be true or false. Logic use connector to create new proposition **Exemple** : - P="The sky is red" - Q="The is is not red" - It's a negation : $$Q=\daleth{P}$$ and $$P=\daleth{Q}$$ ## Connectors 1) Negation - Def: Let P a proposition : we call negation of P a proposition or the proposition that is true when P is false and false when P is true. We denote this proposition : $$\daleth{P}$$ - **Exemple :** - P="the sky is red" - $$\daleth{P} = The sky is not red$$ ![[Pasted image 20230904093718.png]] 2) Conjunction - Def : let P and Q two proposition. We call conjunction of P and Q denote $$P1Q$$ the proposition that is : - True when P and Q are both true - False if else - ![[Pasted image 20230904094230.png]] - Exemple: - P: Floor is green - Q: Wall is withe - $$P\land{Q} = Floor is Green and the wall is white$$ 3) Disjunction - Def: Let P and Q a proposition. We call disjunction of P and Q to a proposition that is - True what at least one of $$P\land{Q}$$ is true and False when their both P and Q are false - ![[Pasted image 20230904095003.png]] 4) If then (implication) - Def: Let P and Q two propositions. We call if P then Q the proposition that is : - False when P is true and Q is false. We denote $$P=>Q$$ - True if else ![[Pasted image 20230904100125.png]] - Exemple - Moustache => Nice - Let's take $$R=[P=>Q]$$ $$Q=>P$$ Is a converse of $$R=[P=>Q]$$ The contrapositive of $$R=[P=>Q]$$ is $$[\daleth{Q} => \daleth{P}]$$ The both are equivalence 6) Equivalence - Def: Let P and Q two propositions. We say P and Q are equivalent and denote $$P=>Q$$ when both $$(P=>Q) and (Q=>P) are true$$ In other words when $$(P=>Q) and (Q=>P) is true$$ and false if else. ![[Pasted image 20230904100934.png]] Let's take $$R = P\land{Q}$$ ![[Pasted image 20230904101446.png]] $$\daleth{(P\land{Q})}=\daleth{P}\land{\daleth{Q}}$$ ![[Pasted image 20230904101721.png]] ![[Pasted image 20230904102817.png]] $$A=>B$$ A is the sufficient condition (to B) and B is the necessary condition (to A) $$A<=>B$$ A & B are the necessary and sufficient conditons ## Quantifiers We know two quantifiers : $$\forall \text{ and } \exists$$ **Example:** $$\forall{x \in{R}}, P(x)$$ is true whatever the values of x from R $$x^2\eqslantgtr{0}$$ $$\exists{x\in{R}}, P(x)$$ P is true for at lease one value of R $$\exists{x\in{R}}, x^2=0$$ $$\exists{x\in{R}}, x^2=1$$ ### ⚠️ **The order maters for every quantifiers** - The negation of $$\exists{ x \in{E}} \text{ is } \forall{x\in{E}} $$ - The negation of - $$\forall{x\in{E}} \text{ is } \exists{ x \in{E}}$$ -
