My book says that the negation of "Everyone likes coffee" is "Not everyone likes coffee". But if i apply that to quantors (c = likes coffee), then...
$\neg(\forall x(c(x))) \Longleftrightarrow \exists x (\neg c(x))$
Which means that "Not everyone doesn't like coffee".
Can someone explain? Is this the same as the sentence above?
What you have written here:
$\exists x (\neg c(x))$
does not mean "Not everyone doesn't like coffee".
It means "There exists someone who is not a coffee-liker."
That is: "at least someone doesn't like coffee"
which is the same thing as "Not everyone likes coffee".
