Biconditional is Commutative/Formulation 1/Proof 1
Theorem
- $p \iff q \dashv \vdash q \iff p$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
| Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | $p \iff q$ | Premise | (None) | ||
| 2 | 1 | $p \implies q$ | Biconditional Elimination: $\iff \EE_1$ | 1 | ||
| 3 | 1 | $q \implies p$ | Biconditional Elimination: $\iff \EE_2$ | 1 | ||
| 4 | 1 | $q \iff p$ | Biconditional Introduction: $\iff \II$ | 3, 2 |
