Non-surveyable proof

In the philosophy of mathematics, a non-surveyable proof is a mathematical proof that is considered infeasible for a human mathematician to verify and so of controversial validity. The term was coined by Thomas Tymoczko in 1979 in criticism of Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken's computer-assisted proof of the four color theorem, and has since been applied to other arguments, mainly those with excessive case splitting and/or with portions dispatched by a difficult-to-verify computer program. Surveyability remains an important consideration in computational mathematics. (Wikipedia).

Determining the negation of a hypothesis and conclusion from a statement

👉 Learn how to find the negation of a statement. The negation of a statement is the opposite of the statement. It is the 'not' of a statement. If a statement is represented by p, then the negation is represented by ~p. For example, The statement "It is raining" has a negation of "It is not

Why You Should Never Say "It's Just A Theory"

A portion of our culture distrusts the scientific method, assuming that there are transcendent truths unknowable by science. But nothing is truly out of bounds for science. If it's real, it can be studied, and tested. Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding our culture has about the scientif

A Gentle Introduction to Non-Parametric Statistics (15-1)

We are now going to look at a special class of tests that give us the ability to do statistical analyses in circumstances when parametric tests just won’t do. They are called non-parametric statistics. Parametric statistics like t tests and ANOVA compare groups using scale-level data. Non-

Now that we know what connectives and quantifiers are, we can put that knowledge to use to figure out how to prove when statements of the form "For all x in D, if p(x), then q(x)" are true (or demonstrate that they are false).
