Now we turn back to the implication, to see what else it has to offer.
Recall from its definition that the implication $p \to q$ is false exactly when $p$ is true and $q$ is false. In other words, $\text{true} \to \text{false}$ is a false proposition. This deserves special emphasis:</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en-US</language><atom:link href="https://maximummathematics.com/books/foundational-mathematics/proof/a-closer-look-at-the-implication/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
