... 52 - Remainder or Difference Unlike addition, the subtraction process is neither associative nor commutative. The commutative law for addition permitted reversing the order of the addends without changing the sum. In subtraction, the subtrahend and minuend cannot be reversed. a-b≠b–a Thus, the diffe ...

... DEFINITION 1.5. A deduction is a series of hypotheses that is followed by a conclusion. (The conclusion and each of the hypotheses must be an assertion.) If the hypotheses are true and the deduction is a good one, then you have a reason to accept the conclusion. EXAMPLE 1.6. Here are two deductions. ...
