Bivalent Logic
1. Distinguish from the following expressions the designations of the propositions and give the logical value to the propositions:
         b) Mathematics.                                  f)
                                                                −3,3

b) Maria does not study Mathematics or António does not listen to music.
If António listens to music, then Maria does not study Mathematics and João practices swimming.
If João does not swim, then Maria studies Mathematics or António listens to music.
If João does not practice swimming and António does not listen to music, then Maria studies Mathematics.
