Abstract

The present paper deals with the numerical attributes of the logical connectives. We put the truth functions representing the connectives as formulas using arithmetic operations to truth values of logical variables: a'=1–a, (ab)=ab, (ab)=a+b-ab= 1–a'b'= a+a'b = b+b'a, (ab) = 1–a+ab = 1–ab' = a'+ab = b+a'b' and (ab) = 1–(a–b)2=ab+a'b'=1–ab'–a'b. In this way, we solve formulas of a propositional calculus just as arithmetic expressions. Several illustrative examples are supplied here.
