p→q; p→r; ¬q∨¬r; ∴¬p please prove using natural deduction.

1.           basic assumption


2.     `p -> r`      basic assumption            


3.  `not q vv not r`    basic assumption(goal:`not p` )


In order to proof this we will need to divide it into two mini proofs: 


Mini proof 1: 


4.  `not q`               (Assume `vv E`    to prove `p`)


5   `not p`               ( `-> E`   lines 1,4)` `


Mini proof 2: 


6.   `not r`                (Assume  `vv E`   to prove `p`)


7.  `not p`                 (`-> E` lines 2,6)


CONCLUSION: (now we can show the proof)


8. `not p`                        (`vv E`   lines3, 4-5, 6-7)


This is how we proof by natural deduction.

Edwards is remembered for his choice of details, particularly in this classic sermon. His goal was not to tell people about his beliefs; he ...
