Samantha Probert This video helped me better understand/review what was taught in class. I really like how you labelled each section of the video and correlated it in the description to what is in the textbook. This allowed me to go through my copy of the textbook and review myself as well as practice some of the statements given there. Thank you so much!
Kentia Williams I learned that if either statement is false, the entire conjunction is false. This concept is often illustrated using a truth value table.
I find it easier to think of conjunctions (p^q) as products (p.q); where True=1 and False=0. If p = True = 1 and q = False = 0, then p^q = p.q = 1.0 = 0 = False If p = True = 1 and q = True = 1, then p^q = p.q = 1.1 = 1 = True If p = False = 0 and q = False = 0, then p^q = p.q = 0.0 = 0 = False etc... If we think of a conjunction as a product, we don't have to memorise the conjunction truth table.
You perhaps study computer science, she never said to memorize it, she very elegantly said, the way you determine the truth value of a conjunction is that both components must be happening(true) otherwise the compound statement will have a false truth value. If you think of it as a product however, then you MUST remember which connective must be thought as a product, that is precisely what you are trying to avoid! not very logical. ( no pun intended) lol

That's great to hear! I'm glad the video was helpful for your review.

This the video helped me understand the truth values of conjunctions clearly

this video helped me understand the truth values of conjuctions, thank you!
Excellent!

This video taught me to understand how to find the truth values of a conjunction

One thing I liked about this video is all the examples you gave throughout the presentation, makes it easier to comprehend.
Another excellent explanation.

This video gave me a clearer understanding on conjuctions. Thank you for helping me!
