Discrete Math Section 2.2 Notes
... For instance, the p → r column has F’s in the second and fourth rows because these are the rows in which p is true and q is false. Next fill in the p ∨ q → r column using the definition of if-then. The rows in which the hypothesis p ∨ q is true and the conclusion r is false are the second, fourth, a ...

Although sometimes a special symbol is used to denote the ‘exclusive-or’, this operator is redundant because we can simply write [p ∨ q] ∧ ¬[p ∧ q] to express it. Be very careful where you place parentheses. For example, what does p ∨ q ⇒ ¬ ...
