Negation - Wikipedia
Negation is a unary logical connective. It may furthermore be applied not only to propositions, but also to notions, truth values, or semantic values more generally. In classical logic, negation is normally identified with the truth function that takes truth to falsity (and vice versa).

Jan 7, 2015 · The idea of negation as contradictoriness is to explicate negation by understanding \(\neg A\) as the contradictory of \(A\), where the relationship of contradiction may be defined in terms of certain logical laws, such as the Law of Excluded …

Dec 17, 2023 · De Morgan's Law #1: Negation of a Conjunction. While each law does not have a number-order to it, the first one I will discuss is called "negation of a conjunction." That is, ~(p ^ q)
7.6 De Morgan’s Laws – Finite Mathematics
De Morgan’s laws allow us to write the negation of conjunctions and disjunctions without using the phrase “It is not the case that …” to indicate the parentheses. Avoiding this phrase often results in a written or verbal statement that is clearer or easier to understand.

Jul 18, 2022 · To negate an “and” statement, negate each part and change the “and” to “or”. ∼ (p ∧ q) ∼ (p ∧ q) is equivalent to ∼ p∨ ∼ q ∼ p ∨ ∼ q. The negation of a disjunction is equivalent to the conjunction of the negation of the statements making up the disjunction. To negate an “or” statement, negate each part and change the “or” to “and”.
