Study Notes
Logic and Rule of Three
- Logic involves the systematic study of reasoning and argumentation, aiming to distinguish good arguments from bad ones
- It deals with the principles of inference and the methods of deductive and inductive reasoning
- Rule of Three is a mathematical formula used to find a missing value in a proportion, when three values are given
- The formula is: a/b = c/d, where a, b, c, and d are the values in the proportion
- It is commonly used in everyday life, business, and science to solve problems and make predictions
- The Rule of Three has applications in geometry, algebra, and other areas of mathematics
