### Notation Table

[edit | edit source]

Polish- or Łukasiewicz's notation for logic

* The table below shows the core of w:Jan Łukasiewicz's notation for w:sentential logic, or Propositional Logic. The "conventional" notation did not become so until the 1970s and 80s. Some letters in the Polish notation table means a certain word in Polish, as shown:

Concept | Conventional
notation | Polish
notation | Polish / English
word

|
|
|

w:Negation |  ¬ ϕ {\displaystyle \neg \phi } | Nφ | negation (No)}
Conjunction |  ϕ ∧ ψ {\displaystyle \phi \land \psi } | Kφψ | conjunction
w:Disjunction |  ϕ ∨ ψ {\displaystyle \phi \lor \psi } | Aφψ | alternate OR=disjunction
w:Material conditional |  ϕ → ψ {\displaystyle \phi \to \psi } | Cφψ | implication
w:Biconditional |  ϕ ↔ ψ {\displaystyle \phi \leftrightarrow \psi } | Eφψ | equivalence'
w:Falsum |  ⊥ {\displaystyle \bot } | O | False value
w:Sheffer stroke |  ϕ ∣ ψ {\displaystyle \phi \mid \psi } | Dφψ | Sheffer stroke
Possibility |  ◊ ϕ {\displaystyle \Diamond \phi } | Mφ | contingent
Necessity |  ◻ ϕ {\displaystyle \Box \phi } | Lφ | Necessary condition
w:Universal quantifier | Πpφ | kwantyfikator ogólny | ANY:

For all p, \phi|Universal quantifier

Existential quantifier |  ∃ p ϕ {\displaystyle \exists p\,\phi } | Σpφ | Exists

* Note that the quantifiers ranged over propositional values in Łukasiewicz's work on many-valued logics.
