Was aware of this resource, but was looking for more of a book resource.greg1313 said:This site may be of interest: https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
To prove a statement is true, you need to provide evidence or logical reasoning that supports the statement. This can include using mathematical equations, scientific experiments, or logical deductions.
No, a statement cannot be proven true without evidence. Evidence is necessary to support the validity of a statement and without it, the statement remains unproven.
A true statement is a factual statement that can be supported by evidence. A valid argument, on the other hand, is a logical sequence of statements that leads to a conclusion. A statement can be true, but an argument can only be valid if the statements within it are logically connected.
Counterexamples can be used to disprove a statement. If one counterexample can be found, it shows that the statement is not true in all cases. However, the absence of counterexamples does not necessarily prove a statement to be true.
It is not possible to prove a statement to be true beyond a doubt. In science, all statements are subject to change and revision based on new evidence or discoveries. However, with enough evidence and support, a statement can be considered highly probable or widely accepted as true.
