Natural Deduction

Natural deduction

Natural deduction is a proof calculus used in logic and proof theory, which expresses logical reasoning through inference rules that are closely related to the natural way of thinking. It contrasts with Hilbert-style systems, which use axioms to express deductive reasoning laws.
