Mathematical logic

Pure inductive logic

Pure inductive logic (PIL) is the area of mathematical logic concerned with the philosophical and mathematical foundations of probabilistic inductive reasoning. It combines classical predicate logic and probability theory (Bayesian inference). Probability values are assigned to sentences of a first-order relational language to represent degrees of belief that should be held by a rational agent. Conditional probability values represent degrees of belief based on the assumption of some received evidence. PIL studies prior probability functions on the set of sentences and evaluates the rationality of such prior probability functions through principles that such functions should arguably satisfy. Each of the principles directs the function to assign probability values and conditional probability values to sentences in some respect rationally. Not all desirable principles of PIL are compatible, so no prior probability function exists that satisfies them all. Some prior probability functions however are distinguished through satisfying an important collection of principles. (Wikipedia).

Inductive Construction

Inductive Construction of a Subsequence In this video, I present the idea of an inductive construction of a subsequence. I illustrate this by showing that for every real number, there is a sequence of rational numbers that converges to that real number. Enjoy! Another Inductive Construct

Injective, Surjective and Bijective Functions (continued)

This video is the second part of an introduction to the basic concepts of functions. It looks at the different ways of representing injective, surjective and bijective functions. Along the way I describe a neat way to arrive at the graphical representation of a function.
