In mathematics,monusis an operator on certaincommutativemonoidsthat are notgroups. A commutative monoid on which a monus operator is defined is called acommutative monoid with monus, orCMM. The monus operator may be denoted with the−symbol because thenatural numbersare a CMM undersubtraction; it is also denoted with th...

Thematerial conditional(also known asmaterial implication) is abinary operationcommonly used inlogic. When the conditional symbol→{\displaystyle \to }isinterpretedas material implication, a formulaP→Q{\displaystyle P\to Q}is true unlessP{\displaystyle P}is true andQ{\displaystyle Q}is false. Material implication is us...

InBoolean logic,logical NOR,[1]non-disjunction, orjoint denial[1]is a truth-functional operator which produces a result that is the negation oflogical or. That is, a sentence of the form (pNORq) is true precisely when neitherpnorqis true—i.e. when bothpandqarefalse. It is logically equivalent to¬(p∨q){\displaystyle \ne...
