Practice: For each of the following syllogisms, translate each statement as close to standard categorical form as possible. Identify the conclusion and premises. Then test its validity using a Venn diagram and the 6 Rules. Discuss soundness   a)This syllogism is valid, for all invalid syllogisms commit an illicit process, and this syllogism does not commit an illicit process. b)If a book is about modern physics it applies advanced mathematics. Therefore, art books do not apply advanced mathematics because they are not about modern physics.
