The Logic of Compound Statements 2.1 and 2.2 Instructor: Hayk Melikya Introduction to Abstract Mathematics [email protected] 1 Logic Logic is not only the foundation of mathematics, but also is important in numerous fields including law, medicine, and science. Although the study of logic originated in antiquity, it was rebuilt and formalized in the 19th and early 20th century. George Boole (Boolean algebra) introduced Mathematical methods to logic in 1847 while Georg Cantor did Theoretical work on sets and discovered that there are many different sizes of infinite sets. Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 2 Logic Mathematical logic is a tool for dealing with formal reasoning Logic does: – Assess if an argument is valid/invalid Logic does not directly: – Assess the truth of atomic statements Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 3 Logic can deduce that: – NCCU is in North Carolina given these facts: – NCCU is in Durham – Durham is in North Carolina Logic knows nothing of whether these facts actually hold in real life! Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 4 Argument #1 All men are mortal Socrates is a man Therefore, Socrates is mortal Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 5 Where is COMP2200 ? How do we find such bugs in software? – Tracing – Debug statements – Test cases – Many software testers working in parallel… All of that had been employed in the previous cases Yet the disasters occurred… Logic : means to prove correctness of software Sometimes can be semi-automated Can also verify a provided correctness proof Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 6 Validity An argument is valid if and only if given that its premises hold its conclusion also holds – Socrates argument: Valid or Invalid? – Sandwich argument: Valid or Invalid? How can we tell ? Common sense? Voting? Authority? What is valid argument anyway? Who cares? ??? Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 7 Arguments in Puzzles The Island of Knights and Knaves Always lie Never lie You meet two people: A, B A says: I am a Knave or B is a Knight B says A and I are of opposite type Who is A? Who is B? Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 8 Solution The original statement can be written as: S = X or Y X = “A is a Knave” Y = “B is a Knight” Suppose A is a Knave Then S must be false since A said it Then both X and Y are false If X is false then A is not a Knave Contradiction : A cannot be a Knave and not a Knave So A must be a Knight So S is true and X is not true Thus, to keep S true Y must be true You meet just one guy : A So B is a Knight too A says:“I’m a Knave!” Who is A? Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 9 Statements or Propositions A proposition or statement is a declaration (sentence) which is either true or false (but not both same time). Some examples: 2+2 = 5 is a statement because it is a false declaration. Orange juice contains vitamin C is a statement that is true. Open the door. This is not considered a statement since we cannot assign a true or false value to this sentence. It is a command, but not a statement or proposition. WHAT TIME IS IT?. 5 + 7. X + 5 = 13. Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 10 Negation( or denial) The negation of a statement, p , is “not p” and is denoted by ~p ( also ┐p ) If p is true, then its negation is false. If p is false, then its negation is true. Truth table: p T F ┐p F T If p : “Jack went up the hill” then ~ p : “ Jack did not go up the hill” Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 11 Conjunction (Logical AND) In ordinary English, we are building new propositions from old ones via connectors. Similar way we will construct new propositions from old ones in mathematics too. Definition: If P and Q are proposition then P Q is a new proposition which referred to as the conjunction of “P and Q”. The proposition P Q is true if both P and Q are true propositions and it is false otherwise. Introduction to Abstract Mathematics P Q P Q T T T T F F F T F F F F 12 Disjunction (Logical OR) Definition: If P and Q are proposition then P Q is a new proposition which referred to as the disjunction of P and Q . The proposition P Q is false if both P and Q are false propositions and it is true otherwise. Introduction to Abstract Mathematics PQ P Q T T T T F T F T T F F F 13 The Implication (Conditional) Definition: If P and Q are proposition then P Q is a new proposition which referred to as “P implies Q” . The proposition P Q is false if P is true and Q is false and it is true otherwise P Q P Q T T T T F F F T T F F T In conditional statements: p q Introduction to Abstract Mathematics p is called the hypothesis and q is called the conclusion The only combination of circumstances in which a conditional sentence is false is when the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false 14 Conditional Statements: P Q P is also called: assumption or premise or antecedent Q is called : conclusion A conditional statements is called vacuously true or true by default when its hypothesis is false There are several ways of expressing P Q : 1. If P, then Q 2. 3. 4. Q if P P implies Q P only if Q 5. Q is necessary for P 6 P is sufficient for Q Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 15 Exercise: Rewrite each of the following sentences in "if, then" form (a) You will pass the test only if you study for at least four hours. (b) Attending class regularly is a necessary condition for passing the course. (c) In order to be a square, it is sufficient that the quadrilateral have four equal angles. (d) In order to be a square, it is necessary that the quadrilateral have four equal angles. (e) An integer is an odd prime only if it is greater than 22 Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 16 Conditional Statement : Contrapositive of p q is another conditional statement ~q ~p A conditional statement is equivalent to its contrapositive The converse of p q is q p The inverse of p q is ~p ~q pq Conditional statement and its converse are not equivalent Conditional statement and its inverse are not equivalent What do you think about convers and inverse of statement??????? Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 17 Conditional Statements The converse and the inverse of a conditional statement are equivalent to each other p only if q means ~q ~p, or p q Biconditional of p and q means “p if and only if q” and is denoted as p q r is a sufficient condition for s means r s r is a necessary condition for s means ~r ~ s “if not r then not s” which is same as s r Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 18 Exercises: Write contrapositive, converse and inverse statements for – If P is a square, then P is a rectangle – If today is Thanksgiving, then tomorrow is Friday – If c is rational, then the decimal expansion of c is repeating – If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2 – If x is nonnegative, then x is positive or x is 0 – If Tom is Ann’s father, then Jim is her uncle and Sue is her aunt – If n is divisible by 6, then n is divisible by 2 and n is divisible by 3 Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 19 Contrapositive: Examples The contrapositive of “if p then q” is “if ~q then ~p”. Statement: If you are a CS year 1 student, then you are taking COMP 2200. Contrapositive: If you are not taking COMP 2200, then you are not a CS year 1 student. Statement: If you don’t give me all your money, then you will die immediately. Contrapositive: If you don’t want to die immediately,then you give me all your money. Fact: A conditional statement is logically equivalent to its contrapositive. Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 20 Biconditional Definition: If P and Q are propositions then the biconditional P and Q is a proposition denoted by P Q whose truth value is given by the truth table P Q PQ T T T T F F F T F F F T Introduction to Abstract Mathematics P Q is often read as : P if and only if Q or P iff Q for shorthand. phrasing of P Q is P is a necessary and sufficient condition for Q. 21 Propositional forms/ formulas /expressions: • Alphabet: variables (letters upper/lower X, Y, Z, … A, B, C ) symbols , , ~, and parentheses ( , ) also we add two more , , • Propositional expressions (propositional forms) are formed using these elements of alphabet as follows: 1. Each variable is propositional expression 2. IF p and q are propositinal expressions then ~ p, p q, p q, p q, p q, (p) , all are propositional expressions 3. Any expression is obtained by applying repeatedly steps 1 or 2. Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 22 Truth Tables Recall that propositional forms are made up of propositional variables and logical connectors in such a way that if one substitute the propositional variables by actual propositions then it becomes proposition. The truth table for a given propositional form displays the truth values that corresponds to all possible combinations of truth values for its propositional variables. Let us construct the truth table for propositional form (p q) ~(p q) which often denoted as p q (p XOR q) exclusive or p q pq pq ~(p q) pq T T F F T F T F T T T T T F F T F T T F F T T F Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 23 Logical Equivalence Two propositional forms are cold logically equivalent if they have identical truth tables. If propositional forms p and q are logically equivalent we write p Show that p q is logically equivalent to ~p q ~p ~p q p q pq T T T F T T F F F F F T T T T F F T T T Introduction to Abstract Mathematics q, 24 Tautology and contradiction A compound proposition is a proposition composed of one or more given propositions (called the component propositions in this context) and at least one logical connective. Definition: A propositional form (compound proposition) is called a tautology if it is true for all possible combinations of truth values assigned to propositional variables (component propositions). ( p ~p ) t ( toutalogy) Definition: A propositional form (compound proposition ) is called a contradiction if it is false for all possible combinations of truth values of the propositional variables (component propositions) ( p ~p ) c (contradiction) Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 25 Examples: Write truth table for: p q ~p Show that (p q) r (p r) (q r) Representation of : p q ~p q Re-write using if- then: Either you get in class on time, or you risk missing some material Negation of : ~(p q) p ~q Write negation for: If it is raining, then I cannot go to the beach Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 26 Theorem RR ( See theorem 1.1.1) (replacement rules) Commutative Law [Com] P Q Q P , P Q Q P 3.
