A biconditional statement is true whenever the truth value is the same for both p and q and false otherwise. 'NOT:'Negation - a method of assigning the opposite truth value to the statement. 'AND:' Given p and q, a conjunction is the proposition that is true when both p and q are true and is false otherwise. 'OR:' Given p and q, a disjunction is the proposition that is false when both p and q are false, but is true otherwise. 'XOR:' An exclusive or is a proposition which is true when exactly one of p and q is true and is false otherwise. The universal quantification of P(x) is the proposition "P(x) is true for all values x in the universe of discourse." The existential quantification of P(x) is the proposition "There exists an element x in the universe of discourse such that P(x) is true."
