Jean Van Heijenoort`s View of Modern Logic

A preliminary accomplishment was the propositional calculus, with a truth-functional definition of the connectives, including the conditional. Of cardinal importance was the realization that, ...

A brief introduction to Logic and its applications
... Another reason why one could not prove P ∨ ¬P ? When you prove a statement such as A ∨ B you can extract a proof that answers whether A or B holds. If we were able to prove the excluded middle, we could extract an algorithm that, given some proposition tells us whether it is valid or not (Curry-Howa ...

THE HISTORY OF LOGIC

These are important in his discussion of modal logic and tense logic. Aristotle referred to certain principles ...

... Weak 3-valued Kleene/Bochvar logic Another three-valued non-bivalent logic is weak 3-valued Kleene logic. Unlike K3 , we have that a sentence takes the value i whenever any part of it takes i. That means e.g. that A ∧ B takes the value i even when A or B takes i. One interpretation of this logic is ...

Chapter 2 Propositional Logic
... So far, we have seen two types of statements: (1) a proposition, which is a statement either always true, or always false, and (2) a paradox, which is a statement whose truth value cannot be assigned. Here are two new types of statements: Definition 13. A contradiction is a statement that is always ...

A proof
... Example Let P(n) be “If a and b are positive integers with a ≥ b, then an ≥ bn where the domain consists of all nonnegative integers. Show that P(0) is true. Proof: The proposition P(0) is “If a ≥ b, then a0 ≥ b0.” Because a0 = b0 = 1, the conclusion of the conditional statement “If a ≥ b, then ...
