The formal proof can be using deductive proof and inductive proof. The deductive proof consists of sequence of statements given with logical reasoning in order to prove the first or initial statement.
Introduction
to Formal Proof
•
The formal proof can be using deductive proof and inductive proof.
•
The deductive proof consists of sequence of statements given with logical
reasoning in order to prove the first or initial statement. The initial
statement is called hypothesis.
•
The inductive proof is a recursive kind of proof which consists of sequence of
parameterized statements that use the statement itself with lower values of its
parameter.
•
In short, formal proofs are the proofs in which we try to prove that statement
B is true because statement A is true. The statement A is called hypothesis and
B is called conclusion statement. In other words, "if A then B" we
say that B is deduced from A.
