DEFINITION<br />

PREDICATE CALCULUS SENTENCES<br />

Every atomic sentence is a sentence.<br />

1. If s is a sentence, so is its negation, ¬s<br />

Some Examples<br />

2. If s 1 <strong>and</strong> s 2 are sentences, then so is their conjunction s 1 ∧ s 2<br />

3. If s 1 <strong>and</strong> s 2 are sentences, then so is their disjunction s 1 ∨ s 2<br />

4. If s 1 <strong>and</strong> s 2 are sentences, then so is their implication s 1 → s 2<br />

5. If s 1 <strong>and</strong> s 2 are sentences, then so is their equivalence s 1 ≡ s 2<br />

6. If X is a variable <strong>and</strong> s a sentence, then ∀X s is a sentence.<br />

7. If X is a varaible <strong>and</strong> s a sentence, then ∃X s is a sentence.
