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.
