... Instead, it is better to reason about truth and falsehood as such and to analyze the conditions for the truth of a formula under an interpretation based on what we know about its subformulas. For this purpose let us rephrase the axioms for boolean valuations in terms of truth and falsehood.1 B1:: If ...

Constructive mathematics and intuitionism, on the other hand, lost by being too puritanical, and by making it too hard to prove results constructively that ...

When using diagrams to check for validity, make sure you consider all possible diagrams, else your proof may not be valid. 4. Inverse and Converse Errors For the last example we ...
