AbstractThis article builds on a recent paper coauthored by the present author, H. Hosni and F. Montagna. It is meant to contribute to the logical foundations of probability theory on many-valued events and, specifically, to a deeper understanding of the notion of strict coherence. In particular, we will make use of geometrical, measure-theoretical and logical methods to provide three characterizations of strict coherence on formulas of infinite-valued Łukasiewicz logic.

This paper is intended to serve a twofold purpose. Its ultimate aim is the presentation of a syntactical definition of the degree of confirmation of a hypothesis on the basis of given evidence, a notion which is known to be of outstanding significance for the logic of inductive reasoning in the empirical sciences. The theory of confirmation to be developed here has as its foundation the theory of probability, and in order to make that foundation sufficiently secure, it was found expedient to present the theory of probability in axiomatic form and to introduce a syntactical interpretation of probability suitable for the intended application in the theory of confirmation. In this sense then to clarify the logical foundations of probability theory is this paper's first aim.

It is desirable that scientifically oriented secondary and college students be exposed to the role played by mathematics in modeling physical theory and experiment. The nature of the probability model and the empirical evidence offered to support its applications can furnish a very effective counterpoint to the standard examples of the empirical evidence from astronomy and physics that justifies theoretical mechanics.
