The fascination and the usefulness which they impart‚ however‚ should not be allowed to conceal the pleasure which identifying them can give. I take a very

Mathematical logic From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Mathematical logic is a subfield of mathematics exploring the applications of formal logic to mathematics. Topically‚ mathematical logic bears close connections to metamathematics‚ the foundations of mathematics‚ and theoretical computer science.[1] The unifying themes in mathematical logic include the study of the expressive power of formal systems and the deductive power of formal proof systems. Mathematical logic is often divided into

There are‚ of course‚ other types of mistake than mistakes in reasoning. For instance‚ factual mistakes are sometimes referred to as "fallacies".

INTRODUCTION Logic is the theory of the way in which people reason‚ with the aim of studying the principles of valid reasoning. The study of logic is the effort to determine the conditions under which one is justified in passing from given statements‚ called premises‚ to a conclusion that is claimed to follow from them. Logical validity is a relationship between the premises and the conclusion such that if the premises are true then the conclusion is true. There are several types of logic. The earliest

Logic Logic (from the Greek λογική‚ logike)[1] has two meanings: first‚ it describes the use of valid reasoning in some activity; second‚ it names the normative study of reasoning or a branch thereof.[2][3] In the latter sense‚ it features most prominently in the subjects of philosophy‚ mathematics‚ and computer science. Logic was studied in several ancient civilizations‚ including India‚[4] China‚[5] Persia and Greece. In the West‚ logic was established as a formal discipline by Aristotle‚ who
