A rule is:

• In logic and mathematics:
  • Rule of inference, a scheme for constructing valid inferences.
  • Axiom, a statement which is either (1) assumed for the sake of a particular discussion, (2) commonly accepted, (3) definitive of a particular subject matter, (4) self-evident, or (5) otherwise taken for granted.
  • Theorem, a statement that is proved from axioms.

• In linguistics and computer science, a rewrite rule.

Mathematical Logic
George Tourlakis Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000
  Mathematical Logic presents mathematical or "symbolic" logic as a reliable tool for deductive reasoning. It trains the student in both the established "Hilbert" style of writing proofs in mathematics, as well as in the emerging "equational" style that finds fruitful application in computer science curricula, especially in the areas of software engineering and program correctness. There are extensive sets of examples, Read More...
Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering
Gordon A. Fenton, D. V. Griffiths Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000
