I will further more, write as the highly educated and well versed human being that I am. I will write in an appropriate and intellectual style becoming of people on the vanguard of philisopical theorems.<BR/><BR/>In mathematical logic, a theorem is a type of abstract object, one token of which is a formula of a formal language which can be derived from the rules of the formal system that is applied to the formal language; another token of which is a statement in natural language, that can be proved on the basis of explicitly stated or previously agreed assumptions. <BR/><BR/>In all settings, an essential property of theorems is that they are derivable using a fixed set of inference rules and axioms without any additional assumptions. This is not a matter of the semantics of the language: the expression that results from a derivation is a syntactic consequence of all the expressions that precede it. In mathematics, the derivation of a theorem is often interpreted as a proof of the truth of the resulting expression, but different deductive systems can yield other interpretations, depending on the meanings of the derivation rules.<BR/><BR/>The proofs of theorems have two components, called the hypotheses and the conclusions. The proof of a mathematical theorem is a logical argument demonstrating that the conclusions are a necessary consequence of the hypotheses, in the sense that if the hypotheses are true then the conclusions must also be true, without any further assumptions. The concept of a theorem is therefore fundamentally deductive, in contrast to the notion of a scientific theory, which is empirical. <BR/><BR/>Although they can be written in a completely symbolic form, theorems are often expressed in a natural language such as English. The same is true of proofs, which are often expressed as logically organised and clearly worded informal arguments intended to demonstrate that a formal symbolic proof can be constructed. Such arguments are typically easier to check than purely symbolic ones — indeed, many mathematicians would express a preference for a proof that not only demonstrates the validity of a theorem, but also explains in some way why it is obviously true. In some cases, a picture alone may be sufficient to prove a theorem. <BR/><BR/>Because theorems lie at the core of mathematics, they are also central to its aesthetics. Theorems are often described as being "trivial", or "difficult", or "deep", or even "beautiful". These subjective judgements vary not only from person to person, but also with time: for example, as a proof is simplified or better understood, a theorem that was once difficult may become trivial. On the other hand, a deep theorem may be simply stated, but its proof may involve surprising and subtle connections between disparate areas of mathematics. Fermat's last theorem is a particularly well-known example of such a theorem.nirvana cowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557379587660219760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683635484532947257.post-17473174084983187562008-05-08T14:43:00.000-05:002008-05-08T14:43:00.000-05:00Yes Marlena went to Garet Manors Home for elderly ...Yes Marlena went to Garet Manors Home for elderly felines. After her arrival her neck scratching stopped, she started using the litter box again, and she received lots of pampering and new friends. She quickly became Queen of the house taking over and living on my stovetop overseeing her kingdom and was always first to get fresh moist food, water, and treats. She lived to the ripe old age of at least 19 years (possibly more)before she passed gently in her sleep. Yes she was a fiesty one and she loved to be petted snd have her head scratched alot toward the end. She had long walked in the green grass and fresh country air. Thank you all that knew her, loved her, and cared for her. I'm currently caring for 3 more elderly felines. Two of mom's (Tasha 18 & Ming 19 years) and Figaro(16). I think I need to open up a feline retirement home and at least get paid for doing this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683635484532947257.post-63592085674502277102008-05-08T14:03:00.000-05:002008-05-08T14:03:00.000-05:00I'm a bit confused.

It so sad when parents are in denial of their children's real problems and just become enablers.<BR/>I think you might need some family counseling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
