There are‚ of course‚ other types of mistake than mistakes in reasoning. For instance‚ factual mistakes are sometimes referred to as "fallacies". However‚ the Fallacy Files is specifically concerned‚ not with factual errors‚ but with logical ones. In logic‚ the term "fallacy" is used in two related‚ but distinct ways. For example: 1. "Argumentum ad Hominem is a fallacy." 2. "Your argument is a fallacy." In 1‚ what is called a "fallacy" is a type of argument‚ so "fallacy" in this sense is a

What is logic?Is it beneficial to think in a logically consistent manner? Logic is the science that evaluates arguments.It aimes to create parameteers on the bassis of which we can distinguish consistent arguments from inconsistent or feeble ones. A logically embellished mind is a jewel on its own and its importance can hardly be undermined.A grasp on logic and its attributes enables a person to improve the quality of one’s arguments and present his ideas in a manner that they make their poitn

Describe the brain regions that control sensorimotor function. What are the specific functions of each region? The sensorimotor function follows a certain order. It goes from the sensorimotor function to the association cortex‚ secondary motor cortex‚ primary motor cortex‚ brain steam motor nuclei‚ and spinal motor circuits. We have two major areas of the sensorimotor association cortex. One is the posterior parietal association cortex and the other the dorsolateral prefrontal association cortex

Mathematical logic From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Mathematical logic is a subfield of mathematics exploring the applications of formal logic to mathematics. Topically‚ mathematical logic bears close connections to metamathematics‚ the foundations of mathematics‚ and theoretical computer science.[1] The unifying themes in mathematical logic include the study of the expressive power of formal systems and the deductive power of formal proof systems. Mathematical logic is often divided into

Fuzzy Logic B.Vasanth‚ Electrical and Electronics Department‚ Rajalakshmi Engineering College Thandalam‚ Chennai‚ India vasanth1508@gmail.com I. INTRODUCTION Fuzzy logic was developed by Lotfi A. Zadeh in the 1960s in order to provide mathematical rules and functions which permitted natural language queries. Fuzzy logic provides a means of calculating intermediate values between absolute true and absolute false with resulting values ranging between 0.0 and 1.0. With fuzzy logic‚ it is

A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most logic gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment‚ every terminal is in one of the two binaryconditions low (0) or high (1)‚ represented by different voltage levels. The logic state of a terminal can‚ and generally does‚ change often‚ as the circuit processes data. In most logic gates‚ the low state is approximately zero volts (0 V)‚ while the high state is approximately five volts positive (+5 V). There are seven

THE CATEGORICAL SYLLOGISM The categorical syllogism is the principal form of deductive interference. Its absolute manner of inferring when applied to certain premises is the kind most suited for imparting scientific and philosophical knowledge. We may describe the Categorical Syllogism as a form of mental discourse wherein two concepts are compared to a third ‘middle concept’‚ and from the agreement of both with the middle concept‚ the mind infers agreement of both concepts among themselves;
