The logical operation used for forming the expression "A and B" from two expressions and B. In formalized languages, the conjunction of two expressions A and B is denoted by A\&B, A\land B, A\cap B, A\cdot B, or AB. The expressions A and B are called the conjunctive terms of A\&B. The normal usage of the conjunction in mathematical logic corresponds to the following truth table:

A B A\&B
