DEFINITION<br />

PROPOSITIONAL CALCULUS SEMANTICS<br />

An interpretation of a set of propositions is the assignment of a truth value,<br />

either T or F, to each propositional symbol<br />

The symbol true is always assigned the value T, <strong>and</strong> the symbol false is<br />

assigned F<br />

The interpretation or truth value for sentences is determined by:<br />

The truth assignment of negation,¬P, where P is any propositional<br />

symbol, is F if the assignment to P is T, <strong>and</strong> T if the assignment to P is F<br />

The truth assignment of conjunction,∧, is T only when both conjuncts<br />

have truth value T; Otherwise it is F
