What is unreasonable mean in math?
It means the same in math as it means else where--it means not reasonable. If you show mathematical steps that are not reasonable to solve a math problem or show a math proof, then your math is unreasonable.
What does canonical mean in math?
It simply means accepted as true without the need for proof.
A word that means carefully and accurately expressed?
In math, a mathematical proof. In general, a precise answer.
What is a subsidiary math theorem?
A lemma, or a subsidiary math theorem, is a theorem that one proves as an interim stage in proving another theorem. Lemmas can be viewed as scaffolding for the proof. Usually, they are not that interesting in and of themselves, but there are exceptions. See the related link for examples of lemmas that are famous independently of the main theorems.
How did Pythagoras discover the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagorus discovered the theorem a2 + b2 = c2 via a math proof, though this is historically unclear according to Roger Penrose's book The Road to Reality.
What about proof by pictures in math?
They are usually not valid.
What is the name of the branch of math that has to do with reasoning and proof?
Mathematical logic and proof theory (a branch of mathematical logic) for proof
What is unreasonable mean in math?
It means the same in math as it means else where--it means not reasonable. If you show mathematical steps that are not reasonable to solve a math problem or show a math proof, then your math is unreasonable.
Logic and formal proof in math have been in existence since the time of the ancient Greeks?
True or False. Logic and proof in math have been in existence sine the time of the ancient Greeks. true
What are the Math proof letters?
QED from the Latin "quod erat demonstrandum", meaning "that which was to be demonstrated", normally put at the end of a mathematical proof
Have logic and formal proof in math only been around for about 100 years?
no
What is a way to show something is true in math?
Writing math proofs can be the hardest part of math for a math major in college. Simply following a few guidelines will help erase the doubt from the validity of your proof.
What does canonical mean in math?
It simply means accepted as true without the need for proof.
Logic and formal proof in math have been around for over 2000 years?
true
A word that means carefully and accurately expressed?
In math, a mathematical proof. In general, a precise answer.
What does justify mean in math terms?
In math terms, it is more or less to make something sound reasonable; but in a way that is less formal than a proof.
How long have logic and formal proof in math have been around for?
At least three thousand years.
