Discrete Mathematics and Logic II. Formal Logic
... Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two celebrated theorems about the limitations of formal systems, proved by Kurt Gödel in 1931. These theorems show that there is no complete, consistent formal system that correctly describes the natural numbers, and that no su ciently strong system describing the ...

Algebra Basics
... 6. Simplifying Equations: Using Expansion To simplify equations involves ‘expanding’ or ‘factorising’. This section helps you to investigate the concept of what it means to expand an expression. When we expand an expression, we remove the brackets, often referred to as the grouping symbols. This ‘e ...
