Dear Professor Ozyurt,

Thanks for your lecture. However, I have two questions for this example

(1) How do you directly find we need to prove a new conclusion? It's a little sudden.

(2) In the second assumption for indirect derivation, we assume not P because we need to prove P. However, we can use a similar trick to prove not P with assumption P.

Sorry the question seems confused, the main problem is how we directly think of proving P as sub-conclusion.
