lecture 12: propositional logic – part I of 33 propositions and connectives … two-valued logic – every sentence is either true or false some sentences are minimal – no proper part which is also a sentence others – can be taken apart into smaller parts we can build larger sentences from smaller ones by using connectives ece 627, winter ‘13 2 of 33 propositions and connectives … connectives – each has one or more meanings in natural language – need for precise, formal language If I open the window then 1+3=4.

Euclid was a Greek or a mathematician. ece 627, winter ‘13 3 of 33 propositional logic … can do … logic that deals only with propositions (sentences, statements) if it is raining then people carry their umbrellas raised people are not carrying their umbrellas raised it is not raining ece 627, winter ‘13 4 of 33 propositional logic … cannot do … if it is raining then everyone will have their umbrellas up John is a person John does not have his umbrella up (it is not raining) no way to substitute the name of the individual John into the general rule about everyone ece 627, winter ‘13 5 of 33 propositional logic … we will look at three different versions Hilbert system (the view that logic is about proofs) Gentzen system and tableau (or Beth) system (the view that is about consistency and entailment) ece 627, winter ‘13 6 of 33 propositional logic … two stages of formalization present a formal language specify a procedure for obtaining valid/true propositions ece 627, winter ‘13 7 of 33 propositional logic Hilbert system PROP_H the syntax is extremely simple a set of names for prepositions single logical operator a single rule for combining simple expressions via logical operator (using brackets to avoid ambiguity) ece 627, winter ‘13 8 of 33 propositional logic Hilbert system PROP_H is a system which is tailored for talking about what can and what cannot be proved within the language, rather than for actually saying things and exploring entailments ece 627, winter ‘13 9 of 33 propositional logic Hilbert system language … propositions names: p, q, r, …, p0, p1, p2, … a name for “false”: ece 627, winter ‘13 ^ 10 of 33 propositional logic Hilbert system language … the connective: (intended to be read “implies”) single combining rule: if A and B are expressions then so is A B (A, B stand for arbitrary expressions of the language) ece 627, winter ‘13 11 of 33 propositional logic Hilbert system - semantics is given by explaining the meaning of the basic formulae - the proposition letters and ^ is given in terms of two objects T and F is given by providing a function V called valuation (it defines meaning of expressions) ece 627, winter ‘13 12 of 33 propositional logic Hilbert system - semantics V(P) – maps P (basic proposition letters and ^ ) to {T, F} expr - denotes the meaning assigned to expr so, how to find out the value of complex expressions (built from simple ones using , i.e., A B ) …?
