  2. List of logic symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols

    The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [ 1 ] and the LaTeX symbol.

  3. Triple bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bar

    Gottlob Frege used a triple bar for a more philosophical notion of identity, in which two statements (not necessarily in mathematics or formal logic) are identical if they can be freely substituted for each other without change of meaning. [6] In mathematics, the triple bar is sometimes used as a symbol of identity or an equivalence relation ...

  4. Logical equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_equivalence

    In logic and mathematics, statements and are said to be logically equivalent if they have the same truth value in every model. [1] The logical equivalence of p {\displaystyle p} and q {\displaystyle q} is sometimes expressed as p ≡ q {\displaystyle p\equiv q} , p :: q {\displaystyle p::q} , E p q {\displaystyle {\textsf {E}}pq} , or p q ...

  5. Exclusive or - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_or

    The exclusive or is also equivalent to the negation of a logical biconditional, by the rules of material implication (a material conditional is equivalent to the disjunction of the negation of its antecedent and its consequence) and material equivalence. In summary, we have, in mathematical and in engineering notation:

  6. If and only if - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_and_only_if

    The corresponding logical symbols are "", "", [6] and , [10] and sometimes "iff".These are usually treated as equivalent. However, some texts of mathematical logic (particularly those on first-order logic, rather than propositional logic) make a distinction between these, in which the first, ↔, is used as a symbol in logic formulas, while ⇔ is used in reasoning about those logic formulas ...

  7. Converse (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_(logic)

    Thus, the statement "If I am a triangle, then I am a three-sided polygon" is logically equivalent to "If I am a three-sided polygon, then I am a triangle," because the definition of "triangle" is "three-sided polygon". A truth table makes it clear that S and the converse of S are not logically equivalent, unless both terms imply each other:

  8. Non-logical symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-logical_symbol

    A language of first-order logic is a formal language over the alphabet consisting of its non-logical symbols and its logical symbols. The latter include logical connectives, quantifiers, and variables that stand for statements. A non-logical symbol only has meaning or semantic content when one is assigned to it by means of an interpretation.

  9. Negation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negation

    In logic, negation, also called the logical not or logical complement, is an operation that takes a proposition to another proposition "not ", written , , ′ [1] or ¯. [ citation needed ] It is interpreted intuitively as being true when P {\displaystyle P} is false, and false when P {\displaystyle P} is true.
