The Rules of Logic

The rules of logic are based very much on the way that we think and draw conclusions about the world around us. This makes them hard to analyze sometimes because we think without thinking about how to think!

One way to see how those rules work for us, though is to see what happens when we break them. Another way is to get yourself into a situation like the one Terry was in at Unusual School where only the rules of logic can help you make sense of the conundrum that you are in.

The rules of logic are applied carefully in proofs that use the techniques of deduction, induction, and proof by contradiction
