And.

A binary operation on two propositions.

$P \land Q$ means $P$ is true and $Q$ is also true.


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(P \land Q\) is P \land Q  or P \wedge Q.


Some $\LaTeX$ compilers allow \and (the version of MathJax used on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ does not).


In the context of propositional logic, on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ \land is standard.
