How to Prove Conditional Statements – Part II of Hammack
نویسنده
چکیده
Now, we will begin the proving of some theorems, a skill which you will need in the upper division courses for which Math 111 is a prerequisite. For clarity, we will define theorem, proof, and definition. A theorem is a mathematical statement that is true and can be (and has been) verified as true. A proof of a theorem is a written verification that shows that the theorem is true. A definition is an exact, unambiguous explanation of the meaning of a mathematical word or phrase. Proofs typically utilize definitions and theorems, as well as mathematical operations.

Conditional Modeling, Part I: Requirements for an Equation-Based Environment
In a series of two papers, we investigate the setting up and solving of conditional models within an equation-based modeling environment. Conditional models arise in chemical engineering when modeling systems involve physicochemical discontinuities, such as phase transitions. Grossmann and Turkay (1996) show how one can represent conditional models as algebraic systems of disjunctive equations....
متن کاملDually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras I. Regularity
This paper is the first of a two part series. In this paper, we first prove that the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 satisfies the strongly blended $lor$-De Morgan law introduced in cite{Sa12}. Then, using this result and the results of cite{Sa12}, we prove our main result which gives an explicit description of simple algebras(=subdirectly irreducibles) ...
متن کاملConditional Statements and Directives
In the first part, we recall the pure and simple notion of the truth-functional (alias material) conditional proposition, and then how it can occur in combination with other elements, creating more complex kinds of conditional assertion. We discuss the subtle distinction between conditional probability and the probability of a conditional. Finally, we explain the notion of a counterfactual cond...

متن کاملLogical Inference Algorithms and Matrix Representations for Probabilistic Conditional Independence
Logical inference algorithms for conditional independence (CI) statements have important applications from testing consistency during knowledge elicitation to constraintbased structure learning of graphical models. We prove that the implication problem for CI statements is decidable, given that the size of the domains of the random variables is known and fixed. We will present an approximate lo...
