Hilberticus Help
Getting started
To start just enter a simple formula about sets. As variables you can
use any string of letters and numbers as long as it begins with a
letter, e.g.: A, B, C, a, b, c, tt3, At333, fgT55, ... . Any variable
is a set, or to be more precise, a class. Use the buttons 4+1
logical and the 8 set operators to type your formula. Once the formula
is completed, press "Evaluate" to let Hilberticus decide
whether the entered formula is true. That is, whether the formula is
universally true for all sets.
To facilitate the typing of formulas you can use the F-keys to enter
operators. Just hover over the button and the name
and assigned key will be displayed. The buttons in the interface are
arranged
similar to the keyboard keys (the buttons on the top are the function
keys).
After you have entered the formula, note that certain function buttons
become available, depending on the type of formula you entered. But
right
now ignore them and press the big evaluate
button
in the lower right corner (or shift-enter). The display above the
evaluate
button will show whether the formula is true, inconsistent, satisfiable
or whether you have made a syntax error. You may now input another
formula or change the existing one. and evaluate
them.
For satisfiable formulas, use the "Example" and "Counter Ex" buttons to
generate examples and counter-examples in the form of Venn diagrams.
Use the menu options to save, load, edit, and print your formulas.
