Abstract

Propositional logic deals with the truth or falsity of propositions, also called assertions or statements. Intuitively propositions are sentences like “2 is strictly greater than 1”, and “2 is strictly smaller than 1”. The first sentence is a true statement, the second a false statement. Given statements e. g. A,B and C, then propositional logic is not concerned with what A, B and C are, but rather with the rules which govern the truth and falsity of new statements which one can make from the given ones, e. g. “if (A and B) then C”, based on our knowledge of the truth or falsity of the given statements. New statements are made from given statements by connecting them with what are called connectives.
