👉 Stating math, also known as first-order logic or propositional logic, is a branch of mathematics that deals with the formal representation and reasoning about statements. It uses symbols to represent propositions (statements that can be true or false) and logical connectives (such as AND, OR, NOT, IMPLIES, and IF AND ONLY IF) to form complex statements. The core principles include the use of truth tables to determine the validity of logical arguments and the application of rules like De Morgan's laws, the distributive laws, and others to manipulate and simplify logical expressions. This system provides a rigorous framework for analyzing arguments, ensuring that conclusions follow logically from premises.
