Definition
-
The material conditional (also known as material implication) is an operation commonly used in logic. When the conditional symbol → is interpreted as material implication, a formula P → Q is true unless P is true and Q is false. Material implication can also be characterized inferentially by modus ponens, modus tollens, conditional proof, and classical reductio ad absurdum.
