The copyright holder grants you permission to redistribute this
document freely as a verbatim copy. Furthermore, the copyright
holder permits you to develop any derived work from this document
provided that the following conditions are met.
a) The derived work acknowledges the fact that it is derived from
this document, and maintains a prominent reference in the
work to the original source.
b) The fact that the derived work is not the original OpenMath
document is stated prominently in the derived work. Moreover if
both this document and the derived work are Content Dictionaries
then the derived work must include a different CDName element,
chosen so that it cannot be confused with any works adopted by
the OpenMath Society. In particular, if there is a Content
Dictionary Group whose name is, for example, `math' containing
Content Dictionaries named `math1', `math2' etc., then you should
not name a derived Content Dictionary `mathN' where N is an integer.
However you are free to name it `private_mathN' or some such. This
is because the names `mathN' may be used by the OpenMath Society
for future extensions.
c) The derived work is distributed under terms that allow the
compilation of derived works, but keep paragraphs a) and b)
intact. The simplest way to do this is to distribute the derived
work under the OpenMath license, but this is not a requirement.
If you have questions about this license please contact the OpenMath
society at http://www.openmath.org.

This CD holds the basic logic functions.
equivalent
application
This symbol is used to show that two boolean expressions are logically
equivalent, that is have the same boolean value for any inputs.
The condition (A is equivalent to B) is equivalent to the
condition that (A implies B and B implies A)
not
application
This symbol represents the logical not function which takes one boolean
argument, and returns the opposite boolean value.
for all x | not(not(x))=x
and
application
This symbol represents the logical and function which is an n-ary
function taking boolean arguments and returning a boolean value. It
is true if all arguments are true or false otherwise.
for all x | x and not(x) = false
xor
application
This symbol represents the logical xor function which is an n-ary
function taking boolean arguments and returning a boolean
value. It is true if there are an odd number of true arguments or
false otherwise.
for all x | x xor x = false
for all x | x xor not(x) = true
or
application
This symbol represents the logical or function which is an n-ary
function taking boolean arguments and returning a boolean value. It
is true if any of the arguments are true or false otherwise.
for all x | x or not(x) = true
for all a,b | not(a and b)= (not(a) or not(b))
implies
application
This symbol represents the logical implies function which takes two
boolean expressions as arguments. It evaluates to false if the first
argument is true and the second argument is false, otherwise it
evaluates to true.
for all x | false implies x
true
constant
This symbol represents the boolean value true.
not true = false
false
constant
This symbol represents the boolean value false.
not false = true
