Hello,

I am studying natural deduction as a part of my Formal Specification & Verification Computer Science course at University/College.

I find it interesting, however I learn much better when I can find a practical use for things.

Could anyone explain to me if and how natural deduction is used other than for formally verifying bits of code?

Thanks!

Say, that you are handling a multi-step process (like a complex registration form, with a number of steps the user has go through in order). You need to be able to save the current state of the process (e.g. so the user can come back to that registration form later and continue form the step where… >>> More
