Skills to be acquired:

Learning conditional proof.

Reading

Bergmann[2008] The Logic Book Section 5.1 and 5.4

The Tutorial:

The five remaining sentential rules of inference are slightly more difficult than the ones that we have met before. They are slightly more difficult in that they require you to make new assumptions, and the correct new assumptions at that. However they follow a similar pattern to each other so mastery of one should lead to mastery of the others.

Skills to be acquired in this tutorial:

a) Understanding the nature of derivation. b) Learning elementary Tactics.

Why this is useful:

Tactics will help you to do derivations.

Reading

Bergmann[2008] The Logic Book Section 5.1 and 5.4.

The Tutorial:

a)

A derivation or proof consists of a finite list of lines.

Tutorial 5. Valid arguments, searching for a proof.

2013

Skills to be acquired in this tutorial:

Proving an argument to be valid by displaying a derivation. Simple propositional derivations using some of the Rules of Inference.

Reading

Bergmann[2004] The Logic Book Section 5.1.

The Tutorial:

If you suspect that an symbolized argument might be valid, you should attempt to give a derivation of it.

A derivation is a proof of validity.
