REVERSE MATHEMATICS Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Second
... Reverse mathematics is a relatively new program in logic with the aim to determine the minimal axiomatic system required to prove theorems. We typically start from axioms A to prove a theorem τ . If we could reverse this to show that the axioms follow from the theorem, then this would demonstrate th ...

Section 3.6: Indirect Argument: Contradiction and Contraposition
... So far, we have only considered so called “direct proofs” of mathematical statements. Specifically, we have been given a statement to prove, and then we have used the definitions and previous results to logically derive the statement. In this section we consider “indirect proofs” proofs which do not ...

... Definition: A k-regular graph is a graph in which every node has degree k. Theorem: For each even number n greater than 2, there exists a 3-regular graph with n nodes. Although the construction below shows the claim for n = 14, it can be readily generalized. ...

... Is this a coincidence, or will this pattern continue forever? A prime number is one that is bigger than 1 and has no factors other than 1 and itself. The first few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, … Now notice this pattern. The number 02 + 0 + 41 = 41, which is a prime number. T ...

Inference Tasks and Computational Semantics
... • If Φ is in fact provable a (sound and complete) 1st-order prover can (in principle) prove it. • Model builder: a tool that, when given a 1storder formula Φ, attempts to build a model for it. • It cannot (even in principle) always succeed in this task, but it can be very useful. ...

... A Form of Incompleteness A is conjunction of axioms of a theory containing arithmetic. Let ı(p,q,r) formalize: r encodes a numerical interpretation of ES(A,p) that makes the expansion true and assigns the numerical value q to the constant c. œxœy∑zı(x,y,z) expresses the existence, for any p and q, ...
