They will thus round out our system of sen- tential logic. SUMMARY OF REPLACEMENT RULES DOUBLE NEGATION (D.N.) DUPLICATION (DUP.)

(pvr))as puzzles, as intellectual challenges; proofs are rather like mazes, where you have to reach the conclusion by working through to the right path. If you take it in this spirit, the process of learning to construct proofs should prove to be intellectually rewarding. SUMMARY OF RULES OF INFERENCE MODUS PONENS (M.P.) MODUS TOLLENS (M.T.)
