Logic & Mathematics

Edited by ScottL, plex, Yoav Ravid, et al. last updated 3rd Feb 2023

Logic and Mathematics are deductive systems, where the conclusion of a successful argument follows necessarily from its premises, given the axioms of the system you’re using: number theory, geometry, predicate logic, etc.

See also

  • Valid argument - An argument is valid when it contains no logical fallacies.
  • Sound argument - An argument that is valid and whose premises are all true. In other words, the premises are true and the conclusion necessarily follows from them, making the conclusion true as well.
  • Formal proof - A set of steps from axiom(s) and previous proof(s) which follows the rules of induction of a mathematical system.
