Synopsis:

In preparing this monograph I had three objectives. First, I wanted to introduce the reader to some topics in mathematics that seldom receive coverage in typical high school and college math programs. The topics include axioms, sets, logic, truth tables and plausible reasoning. In the sections on logic and plausible reasoning, I wanted the reader to see how to transition from formal (mathematical) logic to plausible logic when analyzing the reliability of a source and the credibility of its information content. Readers whose formal education did not cover these topics were not given the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to compete successfully in the world of finance, business and management. These readers will find the information on sets, logic, truth tables and plausible reasoning especially useful. Included are examples that show how the new analysis skills can help analysts draw conclusions and make important decisions from subjective information supplied by less than reliable sources.
