| | NB: I've opted to just get straight to the point with this post rather than attempting to introduce the subject first, so it may be of little interest to readers who aren't already interested in proving the completeness theorem for propositional logic. A PDF version of this document is available here. The key thing I...

| | There are a number of applications of logic to ordinary mathematics, with the most coming from (I believe) model theory. One of the easiest and most striking that I know is called Ax's Theorem. Ax's Theorem: For all polynomial functions $latex f\colon \mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}^n$, if $latex f$ is injective, then $latex f$ is surjective. Very...

| | Gödel's incompleteness theorems have been hailed as "the greatest mathematical discoveries of the 20th century" - indeed, the theorems apply not only to mathematics, but all formal systems and have deep implications for science, logic, computer science, philosophy, and so on. In this post, I'll give a simple but rigorous sketch of Gödel's First Incompleteness ...

| Re: R.J. Lipton and K.W. Regan Proving Cook's Theorem Synchronicity Rules? I just started reworking an old exposition of mine on Cook's Theorem, where I borrowed the Parity Function example from Wilf (1986), Algorithms and Complexity, and translated it into the cactus graph syntax for propositional calculus I developed as an extension of Peirce's...
