2.3: Derivation Systems

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 2.3.1: Introduction
    The purpose of derivation systems is to provide a purely syntactic method of establishing entailment and validity.
  • 2.3.2: The Sequent Calculus
    While many derivation systems operate with arrangements of sentences, the sequent calculus operates with sequents.
  • 2.3.3: Natural Deduction
    Natural deduction is a derivation system intended to mirror actual reasoning (especially the kind of regimented reasoning employed by mathematicians).
  • 2.3.4: Tableaux
    While many derivation systems operate with arrangements of sentences, tableaux operate with signed formulas.
  • 2.3.5: Axiomatic Derivations
    Axiomatic derivations are the oldest and simplest logical derivation systems. Its derivations are simply sequences of sentences.
