Philosophy
 do you think that the universe is really logical? i know we use maths to describe the universe and logic is the foundation of math but for a moment have you ever thought that perhaps this is wrong perhaps all the laws of nature do not obey logic? trailerparkbob i gave u the thumb down for the simple reason that u suggested a read but never "ANSWERED THE QUESTION"
A.Well Im not an expert on this kind of thing, and I know what I'm about to suggest sure has gotten slung around alot by dilettantes like myself, who maybe ought to be discouraged from doing it so flip and casual like, but I'm going to suggest it anyway. I think you're looking for Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem here.

Jokes & Riddles
 Two farmers, Jim and Bob, are sitting at their favorite bar drinking beer. Jim turns to Bob and says, "You know, I'm tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the Community College and sign up for some classes." Bob thinks it's a good idea, and the two leave. The next day, Jim goes down to the college and meets dean of admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, History, and Logic. "Logic?" Jim says. "What's that?" The dean says, "I'll give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?" "Yeah." "Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater, I think that you would have a yard." "That's true, I do have a yard." "I'm not done," the dean says. "Because you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house." "Yes, I do have a house." "And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family." "Yes, I have a family." "I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you're likely a heterosexual." "I am a heterosexual. That's amazing, you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed eater." Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean's hand and leaves to go meet Bob at the bar. He tells Bob about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic. "Logic?" Bob says, "What's that?" Jim says, "I'll give you an example. Do you have a weed eater?" "No." "Then you're a queer."

Q.What are the basics of logic and what should I look for in a logic book?Related Search:
Other - Education
 I am interested in studying logic. I looked at several books in my local library but I'm not sure which one to get. There are some that say "logic" in the title and others that say "clear thinking". They are grouped together and appear to have similar content. Some have a lot about "fallacies", some only have a little info on fallacies. Some focus on mathematical proofs. How many different aspects does logic encompass? What are the basics that I need to know? I want to get a book that has everything about logic. I need to know what to look for in a book because I want to know that I am getting a book that has a complete explanation of logic so that I don't miss out on anything. I don't want to get a book that leaves anything out. Do you know of any good books or websites about logic?
A.A text that gives you a good slow introduction into deductive reasoning and the logical fallacies is key, in my opinion, since that sets a solid foundation for logic in general. The "mathematical proofs" you refer to are actually an area of "Symbolic Logic", which is an interesting foundation of logic in general. The symbols represent ideas, which in turn represent...well, everything! You may actually want to get a seperate text on Symbolic Logic, and begin to study the two aspects together. I'm afraid a book that contains everything about logic would probably require a small moving van to be shuttled around! You'll no doubt need to have multiple books and websites that address the topics on their own. Some things I'd suggest to look for in such books: -Written in a way that engages you and reviews it in a manner you're open to, rather than being dull and difficult. -Used copy, and marked with highlighter/sidenotes from previous owners. -A well-published author you can reference online for further studies.

Software
 What is the difference between Logic Studio and Logic Express? For a home user, what extra does Logic Studio hold? Is it needed?
A.This all depends on how intense of a user you are. I'm a Music Producer and anything with "Express" in the name does me no good. But if you have a music hobby your trying to satisfy and your just messin around then express maybe for you. Unfortunately, express will give you the bare minimums and a lot of times these types of versions won't even allow you to save your work because they want you to buy the Full version. GOOD LUCK!!

Q.How do you apply logic to dating and finding the right woman?Related Search:
Singles & Dating
 I have had a few discussions with friends about this and all of them say that logic and anything that has to do with love does not go together. I am trying to prove that logic is the key ingredient when it comes to love, dating, and relationships. Please help me find the words I am looking for.
A.The key to relationships is to use you head to keep your heart from doing something stupid before you do it, but to let you heart make the final choices. Seek out a group of friends and potential mates, based on charachter and other qualities that you think you want int a mate, and to avoid people who do not have qualities that you find desireable. For example, hang out in circles where you might find an intelligent or responsible or morally upright person (church, study groups, chairity/community service events, etc.), or use a dating site that allows you to screen for such qualities. Then you should get to know as many people as possible on a casual level. After that, you have to let you emotions and your sexuality rule your choices. If you go after anyone you are strongly attracted to, regardless of any other quality, and don't try to limit your choices, you may end up with a really hot loser scum bag who will end up hurting you or with whom you will eventually get fed up, or somebody that bores you to death or annoys you except when you are sucking face. On the other hand, if you refuse to consider somebody who didn't go to college, or something, or doesn't attend church or volunteer, or somebody who doesn't make a certain ammount of money, then you might end up in a relationship with somebody who has all the right qualities on paper, but who you are not really that excited about or attracted to, or can't make a connection with. Above all, avoid being so picky or so closed off that you don't date anybody, or are afraid to ask anybody out, and don't cling to the first person who is interested in you. Besides that, once you are in a relationship or an almost reletionship, don't let that person treat you badly, or ignore you, no matter how much you like them. Liking them is only half of the matter.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48:

Logic \Log"ic\, n. [OE. logike, F. logique, L. logica, logice,
   Gr. logikh` (sc. te`chnh), fr. logiko`s belonging to speaking
   or reason, fr. lo`gos speech, reason, le`gein to say, speak.
   See Legend.]
   1. The science or art of exact reasoning, or of pure and
      formal thought, or of the laws according to which the
      processes of pure thinking should be conducted; the
      science of the formation and application of general
      notions; the science of generalization, judgment,
      classification, reasoning, and systematic arrangement; the
      science of correct reasoning.
      [1913 Webster]

            Logic is the science of the laws of thought, as
            thought; that is, of the necessary conditions to
            which thought, considered in itself, is subject.
                                                  --Sir W.
                                                  Hamilton.
      [1913 Webster]

   Note: Logic is distinguished as pure and applied. "Pure logic
         is a science of the form, or of the formal laws, of
         thinking, and not of the matter. Applied logic teaches
         the application of the forms of thinking to those
         objects about which men do think." --Abp. Thomson.
         [1913 Webster]

   2. A treatise on logic; as, Mill's Logic.
      [1913 Webster]

   3. correct reasoning; as, I can't see any logic in his
      argument; also, sound judgment; as, the logic of surrender
      was uncontestable.
      [PJC]

   4. The path of reasoning used in any specific argument; as,
      his logic was irrefutable.
      [PJC]

   5. (Electronics, Computers) A function of an electrical
      circuit (called a gate) that mimics certain elementary
      binary logical operations on electrical signals, such as
      AND, OR, or NOT; as, a logic circuit; the arithmetic and
      logic unit.
      [PJC]

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03):

logic
     
        1. <philosophy, mathematics> A branch of philosophy and
        mathematics that deals with the formal principles, methods and
        criteria of validity of inference, reasoning and
        knowledge.
     
        Logic is concerned with what is true and how we can know
        whether something is true.  This involves the formalisation of
        logical arguments and proofs in terms of symbols
        representing propositions and logical connectives.  The
        meanings of these logical connectives are expressed by a set
        of rules which are assumed to be self-evident.
     
        Boolean algebra deals with the basic operations of truth
        values: AND, OR, NOT and combinations thereof.  Predicate
        logic extends this with existential and universal
        quantifiers and symbols standing for predicates which may
        depend on variables.  The rules of natural deduction
        describe how we may proceed from valid premises to valid
        conclusions, where the premises and conclusions are
        expressions in predicate logic.
     
        Symbolic logic uses a meta-language concerned with truth,
        which may or may not have a corresponding expression in the
        world of objects called existance.  In symbolic logic,
        arguments and proofs are made in terms of symbols
        representing propositions and logical connectives.  The
        meanings of these begin with a set of rules or primitives
        which are assumed to be self-evident.  Fortunately, even from
        vague primitives, functions can be defined with precise
        meaning.
     
        Boolean logic deals with the basic operations of truth
        values: AND, OR, NOT and combinations thereof.  Predicate
        logic extends this with existential quantifiers and
        universal quantifiers which introduce bound variables
        ranging over finite sets; the predicate itself takes on
        only the values true and false.  Deduction describes how we
        may proceed from valid premises to valid conclusions, where
        these are expressions in predicate logic.
     
        Carnap used the phrase "rational reconstruction" to describe
        the logical analysis of thought.  Thus logic is less concerned
        with how thought does proceed, which is considered the realm
        of psychology, and more with how it should proceed to discover
        truth.  It is the touchstone of the results of thinking, but
        neither its regulator nor a motive for its practice.

From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993):

LOGIC, n.  The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with
the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.  The
basic of logic is the syllogism, consisting of a major and a minor
premise and a conclusion -- thus:
    _Major Premise_:  Sixty men can do a piece of work sixty times as
quickly as one man.
    _Minor Premise_:  One man can dig a posthole in sixty seconds;
therefore --
    _Conclusion_:  Sixty men can dig a posthole in one second.
    This may be called the syllogism arithmetical, in which, by
combining logic and mathematics, we obtain a double certainty and are
twice blessed.
