Frequently Asked Questions

What is mathematical logic?
Mathematical logic is the study of formal reasoning. It uses symbolic notation to represent statements and their logical relationships, including conjunction (AND), disjunction (OR), negation (NOT), implication (IF...THEN), and biconditional (IF AND ONLY IF).
What is a mathematical proof?
A mathematical proof is a rigorous argument that establishes the truth of a statement using logical deduction from axioms and previously proven results. Common proof techniques include direct proof, proof by contradiction, proof by induction, and proof by contrapositive.
