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

Logic Logic- Greek word ‘logos’ which means thought‚ word‚ speech‚ science. Founded by Aristotle around 384-322 B.C. through his famous philosophical masterpiece “organon” Organon- the universal rational instrument for the acquisition of philosophical knowledge. Logic is about the attainment of truth. It is the art and science of correct thinking. Thus‚ thinking and reasoning. Thinking- it means mental operations or the process of drawing out conclusions from previously known data. Correct Thinking-

Bei An ESL Dr. Connors Nov 9‚ 2014 The trick of logic The story uses first person point of view to illustrate how a man deals with and reacts to the fact that his father’s second wife demands maintenance from him. The narrator of this story is the son of the wealthy father. At first the man takes a strong stand that he has no reason to and would never give the woman his money. But at the end of the story‚ due to his sympathy‚ he slightly changes his opinion and starts to feel bad for the woman. With

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

IMSC 500 TERM PAPER FUZZY LOGIC How can a logic which is "fuzzy" be useful? As humans‚ we often rely on imprecise expressions like "usually"‚ "expensive"‚ or "far". But the comprehension of a computer is limited to a black-white‚ everything-or-nothing‚ or true-false mode of thinking. Within conventional logic‚ terms can be only "true" or "false" i.e. either 0 or 1. Fuzzy logic allows a generalization of conventional logic. It provides for terms between "true" and "false" like "almost true"

Mathematical logic is something that has been around for a very long time. Centuries Ago Greek and other logicians tried to make sense out of mathematical proofs. As time went on other people tried to do the same thing but using only symbols and variables. But I will get into detail about that a little later. There is also something called set theory‚ which is related with this. In mathematical logic a lot of terms are used such as axiom and proofs. A lot of things in math can be proven‚ but there

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

Activity 6.3.2 Logic Gates Introduction A two-valued number system is the basis for all of the powerful computers and electronic devices in the world. Those two values are 0 and 1. Everything in the digital world is based on this binary system. While it seems very simple‚ the binary system is used to create the logic that dictates the actions of complex and simpler digital systems. But how do processors know what to do with all of those 0s and 1s Gates are used. Gates process the 0s and 1s and react
