Numbers, proof and `all that jazz`.
... Since the time of Euclid, lists of axioms for many fields of mathematics, such as set theory, logic, and numbers have been compiled. In these notes, we present one of the standard lists of axioms for the real numbers, which are the numbers used in calculus. Thus, we are stating “up front,” those pro ...

Natural Deduction Proof System
... • Natural Deduction tries to follow the natural style of reasoning. Most of the proof consists of forward reasoning, i.e. deriving conclusions, deriving new conclusions from these conclusions, etc. Occasionally hypotheses are introduced or dropped. • A derivation is a tree where the nodes are the ru ...

... Gödel’s First Incompleteness Theorem essentially states that no reasonable axiom system can “capture” all arithmetic truth , because the set True is not semidecidable. To illustrate the theorem we need some definitions and observations. ...

... Part III. The problems in this section all deal with an axiomatic system consisting of the axioms below. Be sure to answer the questions being asked. For example, if you are giving a model to justify your answer in problem (1) below, make sure you also state whether your answer is, “Yes” or “No.” T ...
