Mathematical logic is introduced in this unit.
Topics include sentences and statements, logical connectors, conditionals, biconditionals, equivalence and tautologies. Truth tables are constructed throughout this unit. Try our sample lessons below, or browse other instructional units.
| Mathematical Logic | Description |
| Negation | To identify a statement as true, false or open. To list the negation of a statement in symbolic and in sentence form. To list the truth values for a given statement and its negation. |
| Conjunction | To define logical connector, compound statement, and conjunction. To list a conjunction in symbolic and in sentence form. To construct a truth table for a conjunction. |
| Disjunction | To define disjunction. To list a disjunction in symbolic and in sentence form. To construct a truth table for a disjunction. |
| Conditional Statements | To identify the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional. To list a conditional in symbolic and in sentence form. To list the truth value of a conditional, given the value of each part. |
| Compound Statements | To evaluate sentences represented by compound statements with logical connectors. To write a compound statement in symbolic form. To construct a truth table for a compound statement to determine its truth values. |
| Biconditional Statements | To list a biconditional in symbolic and in sentence form. To identify the hypothesis and conclusion. To evaluate a sentence to determine whether or not it is biconditional. |
| Tautologies | To identify the individual parts of a compound statement. To construct a truth table for a compound statement to determine whether or not it is a tautology. |
| Equivalence | To define logical equivalence. To construct a truth table for several compound statements to determine which two are logically equivalent. To recognize that the biconditional of two equivalent statements is a tautology. |
| Practice Exercises | To complete 10 additional exercises as practice with mathematical logic. Includes interactive truth tables. To assess students' understanding of all concepts in this unit. |
