== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Mathematical Logic''' β The study of formal systems and the principles of valid reasoning. * '''Proposition''' β A statement that is either true or false (e.g., "It is raining"). * '''Logical Connectives''' β Symbols used to combine propositions, such as AND ($\land$), OR ($\lor$), NOT ($\neg$), and IF...THEN ($\to$). * '''Predicate Logic''' β Logic that uses variables and quantifiers (e.g., "For all $x$," "There exists an $x$"). * '''Quantifier''' β Symbols like $\forall$ (For All) and $\exists$ (There Exists). * '''Axiom''' β A statement that is taken to be true without proof; the starting point of a system. * '''Theorem''' β A statement that has been proven to be true based on axioms and logic. * '''Proof''' β A logical argument showing that a statement follows necessarily from axioms. * '''Consistency''' β A property of a system where no contradictions can be proven (i.e., you can't prove both $A$ and NOT $A$). * '''Completeness''' β A property where every true statement in the system can be proven. * '''Decidability''' β A property where there exists an algorithm to determine if any given statement is true or false. * '''Inference Rule''' β A rule that allows you to derive a new true statement from existing ones (e.g., Modus Ponens). * '''Symbolic Logic''' β Representing logical arguments using symbols instead of natural language. * '''Paradox''' β A statement that seems to lead to a contradiction (e.g., "This sentence is false"). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
