Is the conclusion of a valid argument always true?. Give reasons to support your answer otherwise give a counter example. Check the validity of given argument form by using rules of inference: If Superman were able and willing to prevent evil, he would do so. If Superman were unable to prevent evil, he would be impotent; if he were unwilling to prevent evil, he would be malevolent. Superman does not prevent evil. If Superman exists, he is neither impotent nor malevolent. Therefore, Superman does not exist.

Logic and Proofs

Discrete mathematics deals with the separated values of data such as integers. It is widely used in the practical field of computer science and mathematics. By knowing discrete mathematics one can improve their reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. Discrete mathematics became popular after the boom of computers which operate in discrete steps and store data in discrete bits. It also useful in studying computer programming, algorithms, and cryptography.
