Many mathematical theorems are conditional statements. In this case, the proof deduces the conclusion
from conditions called hypotheses or premises. In light of the interpretation of proof as justification of
truth, the conclusion is often viewed as a necessary consequence of the hypotheses, namely, that the
conclusion is true in case the hypotheses are true, without any further assumptions. However, the
conditional could be interpreted differently in certain deductive systems, depending on the meanings
assigned to the derivation rules and the conditional symbol.
