Welcome!

Hello and Welcome to Wikiversity Quantum physics! You can contact us with questions at the colloquium or me personally when you need help. Please remember to sign and date your finished comments when participating in discussions. The signature icon above the edit window makes it simple. All users are expected to abide by our Privacy, Civility, and the Terms of Use policies while at Wikiversity.

To get started, you may

Take a guided tour and learn to edit.
Visit a (kind of) random project.
Browse Wikiversity, or visit a portal corresponding to your educational level: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary, non-formal education.
Find out about research activities on Wikiversity.
Explore Wikiversity with the links to your left.

Read an introduction for teachers and find out how to write an educational resource for Wikiversity.
Give feedback about your initial observations
Discuss Wikiversity issues or ask questions at the colloquium.
Chat with other Wikiversitans on #wikiversity-en.
Follow Wikiversity on twitter (http://twitter.com/Wikiversity) and identi.ca (http://identi.ca/group/wikiversity).

You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --~~~~

Notation Table

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	$\neg\phi$	Nφ	negation (No)}
Conjunction	$\phi\land\psi$	Kφψ	conjunction
w:Disjunction	$\phi\lor\psi$	Aφψ	alternate OR=disjunction
w:Material conditional	$\phi\to\psi$	Cφψ	implication
w:Biconditional	$\phi\leftrightarrow\psi$	Eφψ	equivalence'
w:Falsum	$\bot$	O	False value
w:Sheffer stroke	$\phi\mid\psi$	Dφψ	Sheffer stroke
Possibility	$\Diamond\phi$	Mφ	contingent
Necessity	$\Box\phi$	Lφ	Necessary condition
w:Universal quantifier	Πpφ	kwantyfikator ogólny	ANY: For all p, \phi\|Universal quantifier
Existential quantifier	$\exists p\,\phi$	Σpφ	Exists
