proof

Mathematics
  • A chain of reasoning, starting from axioms or known results, that leads to a conclusion and satisfies the assumed logical rules of inference.


Chemistry
  • A measure of the amount of alcohol (ethanol) in drinks. Proof spirit contains 49.28% ethanol by weight (about 57% by volume). Degrees of proof express the percentage of proof spirit present, so 70° proof spirit contains 0.7 × 57% alcohol.


Chemical Engineering
  • 1. A rigorously defined, logical, and complete demonstration of the correctness of a statement, formula, law, or theorem. It involves a set of basic assumptions known as axioms or premises that are used to derive and lead to a conclusion to show that the statement, formula, law, or theorem has been proved.

    2. A former measure of the amount of alcohol in whisky defined as the most dilute spirit that would ignite gunpowder: 100 per cent proof corresponds to 57.15 per cent ABV (alcohol by volume).


Computer
  • Informally, a form of deduction associated with a deductive logic. More formally, when applied to a formal system F, a proof is a sequence of well-formed formulas with each item in the sequence being either an axiom of F or being derived from previous items through the application of an inference rule of F.


Philosophy
  • Informally, a procedure that brings conviction. More formally, a deductively valid argument starting from true premises, that yields the conclusion. Most formally, in proof theory, a proof is a sequence of formulae of which each member is either an axiom or is derived from a set of preceding members by application of a rule of inference, and which terminates with the proposition proved. The final member of such a sequence is a theorem. In 17th- and 18th-century usage ‘proof’ has the same implications of a chain of intuitive ideas as demonstration.
