Material for week 5
Homework
- Work through this wiki page.
- Read: Levine et al., Chapter 2, Section 2
- Complex formulae:
- Give 2 complex formulae with one logical connective each. (Use different connectives)
- Provide the step-by-step computation of the truth value of your two formulae.
- For the compuation, watch the videos below.
Video
The following video presents the step-by-step computation of the truth value of two formulae with connectives. The example uses a model based on Shakespeare's play Macbeth. The two formulae are:
- ¬ king(lady-macbeth)
- king(duncan) ∨ king(lady-macbeth)
The next video shows how the truth value of a more complex formula can be computed. The example contains two connectives:
kill(malcom,lady-macbeth) ∨ ¬thane(macbeth)
The video shows two different methods: top down and bottom up.
