Abstract
- Error in reasoning that results in an invalid mathematical argument
3 common fallacies causes
- Using Ambiguous Premises
- Circular Reasoning (Assuming what is to be proved without having derived it from the Premise)
- Jumping to a Conclusion
Converse Error
- Given a → b is true & b is true, we conclude a is true
- Going against Modus Tollens
Inverse Error
- Given a→ b is true & ~a is true, we conclude ~b is true
- Going against Vacuously True
