Logic

 

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

What’s LOGIC go to do with it? What’s LOGIC except a second-level math course?

If you want to lie, then math and logic are NOT the way to do it.  Math, which includes logic, can show that something is false.  In fact Proofs are a fundamental part of Math.  You might be able to lie and say that 1+1 is not equal to 2.  However Math can prove that this statement is false. We can say that Math is Hard, but intuitively people use Math all of the time. 

When people make a choice to travel, those people add some extra time to ensure that their trip is on time.  Observations have shown that humans choose that extra time to be enough to be on time 95% of the time, two standard deviations of the mean ( weighted average) time.

People who say they don’t understand percents can often quote batting averages, pass completion rates, or free throw percentages and use those to argue about who is the best player. 

Math may involve something that is hard to remember but that does not mean that is not true.  Passing a law that Pi is equal to 3 won’t make Pi 3.  It just makes that law false and silly.

When people say that a distribution is fair, it almost always is a uniform normal distribution.

Math may be Hard, but it is the Truth.
