Rigorous mathematics and Deductive Reasoning

by Abdassamad Clarke

Mathematics uses five main elements: definition, axiom, hypothesis, proof and theorem.

Definitions are created to ensure that the terms and concepts being used in the arguments are clear.

The axiom is a concept which is so obviously true one does not have to prove it; it is ’self-evident’. Sometimes axioms are also called postulates. Based on the axioms, mathematicians make hypotheses or propositions.

The Role of Monarchy in the Post Modern Era

That which is dependent is in need of the thing which brings it about in the chain of dependence. This chain of dependence continues so that when we seek the initial cause it reveals The Bringer into being. We claim this because, being there and not being there are the two possibilities for everything. Being there shows the emergence of a possibility from the myriad possibilities. How was it that the ‘manifest possibility’ from amongst the myriad possibilities was ‘chosen’ to emerge into being in this instance?
