41Undecidable problem — In computability theory and computational complexity theory, an undecidable problem is a decision problem for which it is impossible to construct an algorithm that leads to a yes or no answer the problem is not decidable.A decision problem is any …
42Rule of inference — In logic, a rule of inference (also called a transformation rule) is a function from sets of formulae to formulae. The argument is called the premise set (or simply premises ) and the value the conclusion . They can also be viewed as relations… …
43Doxastic logic — is a modal logic concerned with reasoning about beliefs. The term doxastic derives from the ancient Greek δόξα, doxa, which means belief. Typically, a doxastic logic uses Bx to mean It is believed that x is the case, and the set denotes a set of… …
44Brouwer-Hilbert controversy — A foundational controversy in twentieth century history of mathematics opposed L. E. J. Brouwer, a supporter of intuitionism, and David Hilbert, the founder of formalism.BackgroundThe background for the controversy was set with David Hilbert s… …
45Rosser's trick — For the theorem about the sparseness of prime numbers, see Rosser s theorem. For a general introduction to the incompleteness theorems, see Gödel s incompleteness theorems. In mathematical logic, Rosser s trick is a method for proving Gödel s… …
46Turing machine — For the test of artificial intelligence, see Turing test. For the instrumental rock band, see Turing Machine (band). Turing machine(s) Machina Universal Turing machine Alternating Turing machine Quantum Turing machine Read only Turing machine… …
47Mathematical proof — In mathematics, a proof is a convincing demonstration (within the accepted standards of the field) that some mathematical statement is necessarily true.[1][2] Proofs are obtained from deductive reasoning, rather than from inductive or empirical… …
48Forcing (mathematics) — For the use of forcing in recursion theory, see Forcing (recursion theory). In the mathematical discipline of set theory, forcing is a technique invented by Paul Cohen for proving consistency and independence results. It was first used, in 1963,… …
49Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory — Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, with the axiom of choice, commonly abbreviated ZFC, is the standard form of axiomatic set theory and as such is the most common foundation of mathematics.ZFC consists of a single primitive ontological notion, that of… …
50Löb's theorem — In mathematical logic, Löb s theorem states that in a theory with Peano arithmetic, for any formula P, if it is provable that if P is provable then P , then P is provable. I.e.:if PA vdash Bew(# P) ightarrow P, then PA vdash Pwhere Bew(#P) means… …
