- pjbrow 13y agoYep, the logic text book that I learnt it from. Just google "inductive logic prove negative" to check out a few articles on it.
- ernesth 13y agoIn Intuitionistic Logic, you cannot rely on ad absurdum proofs (no law of excluded middle). However, people usually believe in classical logic where proving that something is false is easy: we just need to prove it is not true.
