- Logic is crucial in understanding and constructing correct mathematical arguments.
- It has applications in computer science, such as:
- Design of computer circuits
- Construction of computer programs
- Verification of program correctness
- Software systems for automated proof construction
- A proposition is a statement that is either true or false, but not both.
