Weekly Math Problem #52

Truth Table. Part of the reason I like math is because it's like solving a puzzle. I like puzzles and puzzle-type games. One official definition of puzzle--as a noun--is "a question, problem, or contrivance designed for testing ingenuity" (Merriam-Webster online dictionary). πŸ€” Interesting. I mean...math definitely does that. One area of math that definitely gives me that puzzle vibe is logic. So, that's what we're doing this week. Logic was part of the NYS math curriculum when I attended high school. I vividly remember being tested on truth tables and logic proofs. Checkout WMP #26 for a logic proof.

Also, if you're into puzzles and such, check out these Math and Logic Puzzles from MATHisFUN.com.

To solve this week's problem in completion, you need to recall the following math skills:

Here's my truth table. If you found yourself constantly checking the truth tables for the logical connectives to make sure you weren't mixing up the T's and F's, then you're normal. It's easy to get them mixed up. I went over them multiple times.



▪️ Did you truth table have the same results??
