Definition:Conjunction

Definition
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
 * the members of the conjunction.

$p \land q$ is voiced:
 * $p$ and $q$.

Also known as
The conjunction is also known as the logical product.

The conjuncts are thence known as the factors of the logical product.
