I need some help with this problem...

W: Today is Wednesday
C: I have a checmistry lab
S: I have a study period
E: I complete my essay for English

a) represent each of the premises and the conclusions in terms of W, C, S, E and the symbols of logic.
b) Prove the conclusion

2) Premises:
If I have chemistry lab and I have a study period, then today is not Wednesday.
If I complete my essay for English, then I have a study period.
I have chemistry lab if today is Wednesday.
Today is Wednesday.
Conclusion:
I do not complete my essay for English.

Hi Cali:

In logic, there are different sets of symbolism in use today. Can you show us which system you're learning (i.e., provide examples)?

Additionally, please tell us what you already know about these types of exercises. Otherwise, we cannot determine where to begin helping you.

Cheers,
