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 to 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.

Provability logic is a modal logic where the box (or "necessity") operator is interpreted as 'it is provable that', capturing the notion of a proof predicate of a reasonably rich formal theory such as Peano arithmetic.
There are a number of provability logics, some of which are covered in the literature mentioned in the References section.
Interpretability logics present natural extensions of provability logic.

 Logic
Aristotelian logic is sometimes referred to as formal logic because it specifically deals with forms of reasoning, but is not formal in the sense we use it here or as is common in current usage.
Mathematical logic refers to two distinct areas of research: The first, primarily of historical interest, is the use of formal logic to study mathematical reasoning, and the second, in the other direction, the application of mathematics to the study of formal logic.
Logics such as fuzzy logic have since been devised with an infinite number of "degrees of truth", e.g., represented by a real number between 0 and 1.

Formal logic (sometimes called "symbolic logic") attempts to capture the nature of logical truth and inference in formal systems, which consist of a formal language, a set of rules of derivation (often called "rules of inference"), and sometimes a set of axioms.
For instance, propositional logic and predicate logic are a kind of formal logic, as well as temporal logic, modal logic, Hoare logic, the calculus of constructions, etc. Higher order logics are logical systems based on a hierarchy of types.
Informal logic is the study of logic as used in natural language arguments.

 Introduction
The subject of study in provability logic as with interpretability logic is formal theories.
As these two logics are different, it seems very natural to ask for the core logic, that is the interpretability logic of all reasonable arithmetical theories.
The primary aim of this paper is to contribute to the quest for the interpretability logic of all reasonable arithmetical theories.

 Provability Logic (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Provability logic is a modal logic that is used to investigate what arithmetical theories can express in a restricted language about their provability predicates.
The logical language of propositional provability logic contains, in addition to propositional atoms and the usual truth-functional operators as well as the contradiction symbol ⊥, a modal operator □ with intended meaning “is provable in T,” where T is a sufficiently strong formal theory, let us say Peano Arithmetic (see section 4).
Even though propositional provability logic is a modal logic with a kind of “necessity” operator, it withstands Quine's (1976) critique of modal notions as unintelligible, because of its clear and unambiguous arithmetic interpretation.

The study revisits the existing categories of logic neurons, provides with their taxonomy, helps understand their functional features and sheds light on their behavior when being treated as computational components of any neurofuzzy architecture.
The two main categories of aggregative and reference neurons are deeply rooted in the fundamental operations encountered in the technology of fuzzy sets (including logic operations, linguistic modifiers, and logic reference operations).
As the network takes advantage of various logic neurons, this imposes an immediate requirement of structural optimization, which in this study is addressed by utilizing various mechanisms of genetic optimization (genetic algorithms).

 Proof Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Based on the axioms and rules of inference of such a system, derivations of logical statements are constructed.
As such, proof theory is related to syntax in logic; model theory correspondingly relates to semantics.
For example, one may state that there is no proof theory for second-order logic, meaning that there is no syntactical calculus for this logic that simultaneously (1) is sound, and (2) is complete, and (3) is decidable (admits a proof-checking algorithm).

 5 What else?
We see that provability logic can be helpful in studying and understanding the properties of self-referential equations and sentences.
An immediate consequence of proposition 9 is that GL has the finite model property and is decidable, which are properties shared by many modal logics.
In the proof of proposition 9 we have tried to point out a phenomenon called alternation by theoretical computer scientists: in some cases a node is positive iff all successors of it are positive, while in other cases it is positive iff some successor of it is positive.
