Logic Symbols

This page lists of the various symbols in the Logic Symbols group.

In logic, a set of symbols is commonly used to express logical representation. As logicians are familiar with these symbols, they are not explained each time they are used. So, for students of logic, the following table lists many common symbols together with their name, pronunciation and related field of mathematics. Additionally, the third column contains an informal definition, and the fourth column gives a short example.

Be aware that, outside of logic, different symbols have the same meaning, and the same symbol has, depending on the context, different meanings.

Symbols in this group:

The statement A & B is true if both A is true and B is true. Otherwise the statement is false.
