Aristotelian logic has principally been concerned with teaching good argument, and is still taught with that end today, while in mathematical logic and analytical philosophy much greater emphasis is placed on logic as an object of study in its own right, and so logic is studied at a more abstract level.
The boldest attempt to apply logic to mathematics was undoubtedly the logicism pioneered by philosopher-logicians such as Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell: the idea was that mathematical theories were logical tautologies, and the programme was to show this by means to a reduction of mathematics to logic.
Logic is extensively applied in the fields of artificial intelligence, and computer science, and these fields provide a rich source of problems in formal logic.

In ordinary language, logic is the reasoning used to reach a conclusion from a set of assumptions.
More formally, logic is the study of inference—the process whereby new assertions are produced from already established ones.
As such, of particular concern in logic is the structure of inference—the formal relations between the newly produced assertions and the previously established ones, where "formal" means that the relations are independent of the assertions themselves.

 Inductive logic programming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Inductive logic programming (ILP) is a machine learning approach, which uses techniques of logic programming.
From a database of facts and expected results, which are divided into positive andnegative examples, an ILP system tries to derive a logic program that proves all the positive and none of the negativeexamples.
Inductive logic programming is particularly useful in natural language processing.

 Inductive Logic Programming
The development of Inductive Logic Programming has been heavily formal (mathematical) in nature, because the major people in the field believe that this is the only way to progress and to show progress.
As a final notation, it is important to remember that a logic program can contain just one Horn clause, and that the Horn clause could have no body, in which case the head of the clause is a known fact about the domain.
ILP systems were used to determine rules for the mesh resolution of edges in the structure in terms of certain properties of the structure being modelled.

Inductive logic programming (ILP) is the intersection of inductive learning and logic programming.
The main long term technical goal of the ILP project is to update the techniques of the classical empirical learning paradigm to a logic programming framework.
In this way ILP aims to overcome the two main limitations of classical empirical or similarity based learning algorithms, such as the TDIDT-family: the use of a limited knowledge representation formalism (essentially a propositional logic), and the inability to use substantial background knowledge in the learning process.

Because the language of Horn-clause logic is more expressive than the other concept description languages we have seen, it is now possible to learn far more complex concepts than was previously possible.
Powerful induction programs that use expressive languages may be a vital aid in discovering useful patterns in all these data.
Training data for the program was 44 trimethoprim analogues and their observed inhibition of E. coli dihydrofolate reductase.

 8th Int. Conf. on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP'98)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is the study of automated inductive learning where the knowledge representation used is first-order definite clause logic.
The richness of the representation makes ILP particularly well-suited to domains such as organic chemistry and molecular biology, natural language processing, and telecommunications, where examples are easily described as sets of objects (e.g., atoms in a molecule) together with relations that hold among those objects (e.g., bonds or distance relations).
