MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE RELATIONSHIP.
In today’s world mathematics is
a must learned subject . In all the
inventions and discovery , the main reason for their success of the practical’s
are due to mathematics. So in order to
make a career in today’s world require mathematics.
But this Is blog of computers science and
information technology, then why should we read mathematics so it requires
mathematics to understand the reason behind such technology. So I am going to write something about
mathematics for its uses and technology in the computer world.
One of the main aims of logic is
to provide rules by which one can determine whether any particular argument or
reasoning is valid (correct)
Logic is concerned with all
kinds of reasoning whether they be legal arguments or mathematical proofs or
conclusions in a scientific theory based upon a set of hypothesis. Because of the diversity of their application
these rules are called rules of inference, must be stated in general terms and
must be independent of any particular language used in the arguments.
More precisely, in logic we are concerned
with the forms of argument rather than arguments themselves. Like any other theory in science the theory
of inference is formulated in such a way that we should be able to decide about
the validity of an argument by following the rues mechanically and
independently of our own feelings about the argument.
Of course to proceed in this manner requires
that the rules mechanically and independently of our own feelings about the argument. Of course to proceed in this manner requires
that the rules be stated unambiguously.
Any collection of rules or any
theory needs a language in which these rules or theory can be stated. Natural languages are not always precise
enough. They are also ambiguous and as
such are not suitable for this purpose.
It is therefore necessary first to develop a formal language called the
object language. A formal language is
one in which the syntax is well defined.
In fact, every scientific discipline develops its own object language
which consists of certain well-defined terms and well specified uses of these
terms.
The only difference between logic
and other disciplined is that in other disciplines we are concerned with the
use of the object language while in logic we are as interested in analyzing of an object language without
considering its use in the theory of inference.
In order to avoid ambiguity we
use symbols which have been clearly defined in the object languages. An additional reason to use symbols is that
they are easy to write and manipulate.
Because of use this symbols the logic that we shall study is also called
symbolic logic, Our study of the object language requires the use of another
language.
For this purpose we can choose
any of the natural languages. In this
case our choice is English and so the statements about the object language will
be made in English. This natural
language (English) will them be called or meta language. Certain inherent difficulties in this procedure
could be anticipated. Because we wish to
study a precise language while using another language which is not so precise.
