Definition:Conjunction

Conjunction is a binary connective written symbolically as $$p \land q$$ whose behaviour is as follows:

$$p \land q$$ is defined as: "$$p$$ is true and $$q$$ is true."

This is called the conjunction of $$p$$ and $$q$$.

The statements $$p$$ and $$q$$ are known as the conjuncts.

"$$p \land q$$" is voiced "$$p$$ and $$q$$".

You may encounter different symbols that mean the same thing as $$p \land q$$:


 * $$p.q$$, referred to as "dot";
 * $$p$$ & $$q$$.
