Philosophy/Logic?

0 ⤊

I just started learning Derivation in my Intro to Deductive Logic class and i was wondering if there is a relation between truth trees, truth tables, sentence derivations and truth functionality, consistency, inconsitency and so on. Are the three (tables, trees, and derivations) related somehow? If so, what does one tell you about the other, if anything?

Thanks alot

I'm sorry but none of that makes sense. I would stop worrying so much about philosophy semantics and go with your gut instinct.

Yes. It all about validity.
To show that the derivation is valid-- you can construct a truth table or can use a truth tree.
