relation of inference rules to axioms and proofs

Published 2020-08-27T22:01:00.003Z by Physics Derivation Graph

Axioms are a set of statements upon which other statements can be formed.

Lemmas are easy but irrelevant.
Corollaries are quick but irrelevant consequences
Propositions are interesting
Theorems are important and difficult

A proof is about consistency of statements with respect to a set of axioms.

To show the connection can be made, pick the simplest PDG inference rules.

* "multiply both sides by"
