The (A -> B) I have down. When it starts to get into (A ^ B) > C) I have trouble with that.

For the one I just gave say A=1, B=1 and C=0. So it'd be (1 ^1) > 0) 1 ^ 1 is true, 1 > 0 is false, so the truth value is false. I get that right?

I'd rather discuss this the rest of the night and continue the AA discussion tomorrow. Got an exam coming up and I want to be sharp for it.

You could finally make those arguments that black people should be deported and the Holocaust didn't happen.

Yea you're right. And with my 4 weeks of intro to logic, I'm seeing how those were not arguments.

You dun getted dat right.

The important thing to remember is that there is a main connective. That means you can only ever have a left-hand side and a right-hand side with an operator in the middle, like P operator Q.

In the case of ((A^B)->C) the main connective is ->.

You can think of it as P = (A^B). And C=Q, if that helps you.

You have P->Q or P->C, whichever you prefer.

The point is if the right-hand side were something long and complicated like ((DvE)^F) you could replace it with Q.

How do you find the truth value of P or Q? You know how to keep splitting long expressions into short ones, and then you know how to find the truth value of the short ones, so you know the truth value of the long ones.

Unknown conditionals

Having some trouble on thiis. If it's (P > U) with P=? and U=1, how do I find the value? Care to walk me through it?

@Crensch is stupid.
