\section{Logical Algebra}

Odds are, you are familiar with \textit{logical symbols}. \par
In this handout, we'll use the following:
\textit{Logical operators} operate on the values $\{\text{True}, \text{False}\}$, \par

$A \rightarrow B$ is a bit harder to understand. Read aloud, this is \say{$A$ implies $B$.} \par
The only time $\rightarrow$ is false is when $T \rightarrow F$. This may seem counterintuitive, but it makes sense. Think about it. \par
The only time $\rightarrow$ is false is when $T \rightarrow F$. This may seem counterintuitive, but it will make more sense as we progress through this handout.

Evaluate the following.

\item $T \land T$
