Mathematical Logic and Proofs - Mathematics LibreTexts. Mathematics is really about proving general statements via arguments, usually called proofs.
We start with some given conditions, the premises of our argument, and from these we find a consequence of interest, our conclusion. The problem is, as you no doubt know from arguing with friends, not all arguments are good arguments. A “bad” argument is one in which the conclusion does not follow from the premises, i.e., the conclusion is not a consequence of the premises. Logic is the study of what makes an argument good or bad. Mathematical logic is the subfield of philosophical logic devoted to logical systems that have been sufficiently formalized for mathematical study.

Introduction to Proofs: an Inquiry-based Approach by Jim Hefferon is for a Mathematics major course that is inquiry-based, sometimes known as “Moore method.”
It is Free. Highlights Inquiry-based The text provides the material's outline, a sequence of statements along with a few definitions and remarks. Covers needed material Number Theory up to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, sets to DeMorgan's Laws, functions to two-sided inverses, and relations to equivalences and partitions. No prerequisite We enroll sophomore Mathematics majors, who typically have taken Linear Algebra, just to ensure that they have mathematical aptitude. What is Inquiry-Based? The class works through the material together, so the instructor is more a guide than a lecturer. As people who are preparing for a career in the subject, they are ready to develop mathematical maturity. The New England Community for Inquiry-Based Learning in Mathematics is a great place to get started looking for more.

Multiplicative inverse.
The reciprocal function: y = 1/x.
For every x except 0, y represents its multiplicative inverse. The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola. Multiplying a number is the same as dividing its reciprocal and vice versa. For example, multiplication by 4/5 (or 0.8) will give the same result as division by 5/4 (or 1.25). Therefore, multiplication by a number followed by multiplication of its reciprocal will yield the original number (since their product is 1). The term reciprocal was in common use at least as far back as the third edition of Encyclopædia Britannica (1797), to describe two numbers whose product is 1; geometrical quantities in inverse proportion are described as reciprocall, in a 1570 translation of Euclid's Elements.[4] In the phrase multiplicative inverse, the qualifier multiplicative is often omitted, and then tacitly understood (in contrast to the additive inverse).
