Kronecker, God and the Integers
Natural numbers were created by God, everything else is the work of men — Kronecker (1823–1891).
Formal Logic vs. Material Logic?
In a purely logical argument, even if the premises aren’t in any way (semantically) connected to the conclusion, the argument may still be both valid and sound. Professor Edwin D. Mares displays what he sees as a problem with purely formal logic when he offers us the following example
Another Approach To Understand Accelerated Motion
Motion of a moving particle is considered to be one of the most instructive and useful physical systems one can study. In a real world case, such systems may exhibit immense complexity and intractability. But if we are lucky, we may be able to isolate the moving particle from unwanted

Lewis Carroll’s Infinite Premises
The British writer, mathematician and logician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (which was Lewis Carroll’s real name) worked in the fields of geometry, matrix algebra, mathematical logic and linear algebra. Dodgson was also an influential logician. (He introduced the Method of Trees; which was the earliest use of a truth tree.
