The first part of the course introduces the logic of experimentation and discusses various methodological issues in the design and analysis of experiments.
Page 4 introduces the logic of Muller's experimental approach, based on the ability to generate deletions and duplications in Drosophila; students are asked to think about exceptions to the assumption that a deletion or duplication always produces either a 1/2 or 2-fold change, respectively, in the level of gene product.
In the paper, we introduce the logic PLTLmod, an extension of Linear-Time Temporal Logic LTL with past-time operators whose atomic formulae are defined from a first-order constraint language dealing with periodicity.
To further the cause of inclusive fitness, Wilson included the idea in a series of influential articles and books, introducing the startling logic of Hamilton's equation to biologists.
In (Sidon 1997, Yavorskaya (Sidon) 2001), a logic \(\mathsf{LPP}\) was introduced which combined the logic of provability \(\mathsf{GL}\) with the logic of proofs \(\mathsf{LP}\), but to ensure that the resulting system had desirable logical properties some additional operations from outside the original languages of \(\mathsf{GL}\) and \(\mathsf{LP}\) were added.
In June 1938, he obtained his PhD from Princeton; his dissertation, Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals, introduced the concept of ordinal logic and the notion of relative computing, where Turing machines are augmented with so-called oracles, allowing a study of problems that cannot be solved by a Turing machine.
The diplomat introduced the natives to the logic of power, which soldiers enforced, planters enjoyed and traders turned to profit; but the raffish glamour of early empire, with its scarlet tunics and nabobs, its bold spirits and incalculable greed, was in little sympathy with missionary drab.
As every philosophy student knows, he introduced the language of predicate logic, with sentential connectives, identity, and the variable-binding operators ∀ and ∃ (in modern notation, not Frege's).
Shewhart (1931) was responsible for introducing PDCA concepts and the logic of this cycle.
It incorporated many of the ideas of the process PDN scheme but notably introduced the idea of using Boolean logic operators (AND/OR/NOT) nodes to represent co-dependencies between components.
