Logic Laws
Propositions
Definition: A proposition is a statement that is either true or false. Which ever of these (true or false) is the case is called the truth value of the proposition.
Connectives
Compound propositione.g. ‘If Brian and Angela are not both happy, then either Brian is not happy or Angela is not happy’
Atomic proposition:‘Brian is happy’ ‘Angela is happy’
Connectives:and, or, not, if-then
Connective Symbols

converse and contrapositive
The converse of p → q is q → p
The contrapositive of p → q is ~q → ~p
Laws of Logic
Laws of logic allow use to combine connectives and simplify propositions.
Double Negative Law
~ ~ p ≡ p
Implication Law
p → q ≡ ~p ٧ q
Equivalence Law
p ↔ q ≡ (p → q) ٨ (q → p)
Idempotent Laws
p ٨ p ≡ p
p ٧ p ≡ p
Commutative Laws
p ٨ q ≡ q ٨ p
p ٧ q ≡ q ٧ p
Associative Laws
p ٨ (q ٨ r) ≡ (p ٨ q) ٨ r
p ٧ (q ٧ r) ≡ (p ٧ q) ٧ r
Distributive Laws
p ٨ (q ٧ r) ≡ (p ٨ q) ٧ (p ٨ r)
p ٧ (q ٨ r) ≡ (p ٧ q) ٨ (p ٧ r)
Identity Laws
p ٨ T ≡ p
p ٧ F ≡ p
Annihilation Laws
p ٨ F ≡ F
p ٧ T ≡ T
Inverse Laws
p ٨ ~p ≡ F
p ٧ ~p ≡ T
Absorption Laws
p ٨ (p ٧ q) ≡ p
p ٧ (p ٨ q) ≡ p
de Morgan’s Laws
~(p ٨ q) ≡ ~p ٧ ~q
~(p ٧ q) ≡ ~p ٨ ~q
