  2. Conjunction/disjunction duality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction/disjunction...

    In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, there is a duality between conjunction and disjunction, [1] [2] [3] also called the duality principle. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It is the most widely known example of duality in logic. [ 1 ]

  3. De Morgan's laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

    De Morgan's laws represented with Venn diagrams.In each case, the resultant set is the set of all points in any shade of blue. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1] [2] [3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference.

  4. The Character of Physical Law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Character_of_Physical_Law

    Critical reception has been positive. [4] [5] The journal The Physics Teacher, in recommending it to both scientists and non-scientists alike, gave The Character of Physical Law a favorable review, writing that although the book was initially intended to supplement the recordings, it was "complete in itself and will appeal to a far wider audience".

  5. Tautology (rule of inference) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautology_(rule_of_inference)

    In propositional logic, tautology is either of two commonly used rules of replacement. [1] [2] [3] The rules are used to eliminate redundancy in disjunctions and conjunctions when they occur in logical proofs.

  6. Commutativity of conjunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutativity_of_conjunction

    Commutativity of conjunction can be expressed in sequent notation as: ()and ()where is a metalogical symbol meaning that () is a syntactic consequence of (), in the one case, and () is a syntactic consequence of () in the other, in some logical system;

  7. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics, can be paraphrased as follows: A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by ...

  8. Scientific law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_law

    The term law has diverse usage in many cases (approximate, accurate, broad, or narrow) across all fields of natural science (physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology). Laws are developed from data and can be further developed through mathematics; in all cases they are directly or indirectly based on empirical evidence. It is generally ...

  9. Principle of distributivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_distributivity

    The principle of distributivity states that the algebraic distributive law is valid, where both logical conjunction and logical disjunction are distributive over each other so that for any propositions A, B and C the equivalences
