¬∀x[Px→Qx]<br />

The statement becomes:<br />

change this to:<br />

∀x[Px→¬Qx]<br />

Which translates to:<br />

“Some dogs are not mammals”.<br />

Mathematical statements can be constructed using propositional calculus. The statement:<br />

“If a integer is less than 10, then it is less than 11”<br />

This statement can be converted using the universal quantifier so that is true for every<br />

integer x (x ∈ N) less than 10 as such:<br />

∀x ∈ N [(x
