Logic Lesson 6: Proofs with the Rules of Inference

Показать описание
This video begins to explain how to do proofs using the rules of inference. It explains why we use proofs instead of additional rules, goes over a few example proofs, then gives you some proofs to try on your own. The solutions to these proofs are covered in a subsequent video.

The text used to make this video is posted on my blog at

This video is part of a series on symbolic logic. If you don't already know the rules of inference, check out the earlier videos in this playlist:

1. P //Premise
2. P --> Q //Premise
3. Q --> R //Premise

Proof:

4. P --> R //2, 3 Hypothetical syllogism
5. R //1, 4 Modus ponens

These are fun.

1. P & ~Q // Premise
2. P ⊃ Q // Premise
Prove: R
3. ~Q // 1 Simplification
4. ~Q ∨ R // 3 Addition
5. P // 1 Simplification
6. Q // 2, 5 Modus Ponens
7. R // 4, 6 Disjunctive Syllogism

What's an axiom and a theorem in relation to all of this?
