conjunction

A conjunction is true only when both parameters (called conjuncts) are true. In English, conjunction is denoted by the word “and”. Symbolically, we represent it as $\wedge$ or multiplication applied to Boolean parameters. Conjunction of $a$ and $b$ would be written

$$a\wedge b$$

or, in algebraic context,

$$a\cdot b$$

or

$$ab$$

The truth table for conjunction is

$a$	$b$	$a\wedge b$
F	F	F
F	T	F
T	F	F
T	T	T
