An **axiom** is a defined core assumption held to be true.
!!! example
True is not false.
A **theorem** is a true statement derived from axioms via logic or other theorems.
!!! example
True or false is true.
A **proposition/statement** must be able to have the property that it is exclusively true or false.
!!! example
The square root of 2 is a rational number.
An **open sentence** becomes a proposition if a value is assigned to the variable.
!!! example
$x^2-x\geq 0$
## Truth tables ## Truth tables
A truth table lists all possible **truth values** of a proposition, containing independent **statement variables**.
!!! example
| p | q | p and q |
| --- | --- | --- |
| T | T | T |
| T | F | F |
| F | T | F |
| F | F | F |
## Logical operators
!!! definition
- A **compound statement** is composed of **component statements** joined by logical operators AND and OR.
The **negation** operator is equivalent to logical **NOT**.
$$\neg p$$
The **conjunction** operaetor is equivalent to logical **AND**.
$$p\wedge q$$
The **disjunction** operator is equivalent to logical **OR**.
$$p\vee q$$
The **implication** sign requires that if $p$ is true, $q$ is true, such that *$p$ implies $q$*. The first symbol is the **hypothesis** and the second symbol is the **conclusion**.
$$p\implies q$$
| $p$ | $q$ | $p\implies q$ |
