What is the difference between an empirical proof and a mathematical proof?
Bethanee27
Empirical proof is "dependent on evidence or consequences that are observable by the senses. Empirical data is data that is produced by experiment or observation."
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical )
"In mathematics, a proof is a convincing demonstration that some mathematical statement is necessarily true, within the accepted standards of the field. A proof is a logically deduced argument, not an empirical one."

What is the difference between a rational proof and an emperical proof?
Rational proof is governed by the rules of logic, considered by many to be the basis of good thinking. Testing ideas through the use of continuous questioning and thoughtful examination. Empirical proof is proof arising from careful observation of events in nature; proof that forms the basis for scientific discovery. Form of proof in both natural and social science, including sociology. An attempt to support or refute an idea on the basis of independent observation by many individuals. Linda
What is the difference between proof and postulate?
A proof uses postulates and theorems to prove some statement.
What can justify the steps of a proof?
Mathematical logic.
What is the difference between a flow proof and a two column proof?
flow proof is just run of text 2 colmn has line/column breaks
What type of reasoning does a mathematical proof use?
Deductive reasoning In mathematics, a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement. Deductive reasoning, unlike inductive reasoning, is a valid form of proof. It is, in fact, the way in which geometric proofs are written.
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 the difference between axiom and empirical law?
An axiom is a self-evident truth or principle that serves as a premise or starting point for reasoning, usually in mathematics or logic. On the other hand, an empirical law is a statement describing a pattern or regularity observed in data or experiments, derived from empirical observations rather than being necessarily self-evident. Axioms are typically assumed to be true without proof, while empirical laws are based on observed evidence and may be subject to revision based on new data.

What is the difference between a wet whistle and a dry whistle?
About 40 proof
Is there any proof that vampires exist?
No empirical proof. Such doesn't seem to matter to those who wish more than they know.

flow proof is just run of text 2 colmn has line/column breaks
What is a empirical statement?
A statement based on practical experience rather than scientific proof

Which types of reasons are not valid in a mathematical proof?
Unproven Theorems
