1.  E v ~(D v C)
2.  (E v ~D) -> C      / :. E
-----------------------------
3.  E v (~D & ~C)              1      De Morgan's Law
4.  (E v ~D) & (E v ~C)        3      Distribution
5.  (E v ~C) & (E v ~D)        4      Commutation
6.  E v ~D                     4      Simplification
7.  C                          2,6    Modus Ponens
8.  E v ~C                     5      Simplification
9.  ~C v E                     8      Commutation
10. C -> E                     9      Material Implication
11. E                          10,7   Modus Ponens
