  1. Nobody knows of any software, online resources for generating proofs, such as those used in the propositional calculus? I'll post solutions to these problems later on today, unless somebody has any suggestions. Here's one solution to one of the problems already listed: The derivation of A: Pr.1. R->T Pr.2. RvA Pr.3. F Pr.4. F->(~T&K) Pr.5. ~T&K 3,4 Modens Ponens Pr.6. ~T 5 Simplification Pr.7. ~R 1,6 Modens Tollens Concl.8. A 2,7 Disjunctive syllogism
  2. What about masturbation? Because that's the only kind of sex I ever get. I have tried human females before, but I can't get it up there for them and since no woman wants to be with a man who gets soft before the act of penetration, it's celibacy ftw! Also, did it ever occur to anyone that many supposedly celibate people, such as RC priests, spank their rods like no tomorrow?
  3. I'm not sure where this goes, but I'll post it here, as it seems to be a quasi-mathematical subject. Anyway, I was doing derivations from conclusions using implication rules, and I was quite confused to say the least. The rules of implication are: Modus Ponens: A->B, ~B/~A Hypothetical syllogism: A->B, B->C/A->C Modus Tollens: A->B, ~B/~A Disjunctive syllogism: AvB, ~A/B AvB, ~B/A Simplification: A&B/A A&B/B Addition: A/AvB B/AvB Conjunction: A, B/A&B Constructive dilemma: (A->B)&(C->D), AvC/BvD Now, when I applied these to some problems, I had numerous difficulties. I'm not sure where to begin. Can someone help me out? Here were some of the questions: derive S&N from: 1. (V<->N)&S 2. (GvS)->(V&N) 3. 4. derive ~Z from: 1. G 2. (G&D)->~Z 3. G->~(Zv~M) 4. (Zv~M)vD 5. 6. derive A from: 1. R->T 2. RvA 3. F 4. F->(~T&K) 5. Now my purpose in posting these sample problems is to figure out how to do this stuff, as my skill at symbolic logic is weak enough as it already is. Here's a few more: derive SvE: 1. (D<->Z)->E 2. Z&D 3. Z->(Xv(D<->Z)) 4. X->S 5. derive GvN: 1. ~U 2. CvB 3. (HvB)->(I&G) 4. C->U 5. derive K: 1. (XvP)&R 2. P->Q 3. X->Z 4. (ZvQ)->(K&J) 5. derive ZvU: 1. WvA 2. V&G 3. ~N->Z 4. W->~N 5. (VvH)->(A->U) 6. derive I: 1. Tv~P 2. ~T&(Q->H) 3. (A->T)&(X->I) 4. (~T&~P)->(AvX) 5. I hope I'm not boring anybody by posting this, but it's because I'm pretty lost right now and I really want to master symbolic logic and need all the help and advice I can get. Also, is there any software that can be used to generate proofs? I've heard of logic proof generators, but I'm not sureas to where to find these. Are there any good books on mastering symbolic logic?I'd also like to talk to people who have expertise in this subject area as well.
