  • Critical vs. creative Thinking

    Metaphors are everyday evidence in man's natural creativity because the social structures we live in, the order that we have, the language that we use - they are all man-created.

  • Artificial Intelligence and Human Capacity

    Metaphors present mental state in human beings. When one says 'I feel blue today,' we can right away understand the mental and physical state of the person who uttered it and what it refers to.

  • Well-Ordering Axiom - Strong Induction

    If P(1) is true and P(1) and P(2) and so on through P(n) imply P(n+1) then P(i) is true for all natural numbers. Proof of Well-ordering axiom by strong induction: We will do induction based on the size of the subset.

  • Levels of measurement: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio

    NOMINAL SCALE: If the ratio of two measurements and the difference between two measurements are NOT meaningful quantities, and there is NO natural ordering (ascending or descending) of these measurements then the variable belongs to the nominal scale

  • Well-Ordering and Division Theorem

    Use that argument and well-ordering to show that there can be no natural number a > 0 with b^2 = 2a^2 for some natural number b. 33. Let m be the least common multiple of a and b, and let c be a common multiple of a and b. Show that m divides c.

  • Proof of principles

    So the well-ordering principle is correct. Done. This is a proof regarding well-ordering principle and principle of mathematical induction.
