  Logic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
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.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, philosophical logicians including (Frege, Russell) attempted to prove that mathematics could be entirely reduced to logic.
As a result, philosophical logicians have contributed a great deal to the development of non-standard logics (e.g., free logics, tense logics) as well as various extensions of classical logic (e.g., modal logics), and non-standard semantics for such logics (e.g., supervaluation semantics).

Perhaps it might not seem that a seperate list of logicians (over and above the mathematcians list) is needed.
A good many famous logicians are philosophers, linguists and computer scientists rather than mathematicians.
NB that there is a separate list of mathematical logic topics.

It was not alone: the Stoics proposed a system of propositional logic that was studied by medieval logicians; nor was the perfection of Aristotle's system undisputed; for example the problem of multiple generality was recognised in medieval times.
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.
There is interest in the idea of finding a logical calculus that naturally captures computability; the computability logic of Japaridze is an example of a recently embarked research programme in this direction.

German logician working in the algebra of logic, proved the decidability of first-order logic with only one-place predicate symbols and the Löwenheim-Skolem Theorem, according to which every satisfiable set of sentences (in a countable language) has a countable model.
Russian logician who, as a student of Hilbert and starting from Sheffer's reduction of the propositional connectives to the Sheffer stroke, invented combinatory logic.
Norwegian logician known especially for the Löwenheim- Skolem Theorem and Skolem's Paradox: It follows from the Löwenheim-Skolem Theorem that if set theory has a model, it has a countable model; yet set theory proves that there are uncountable sets.

 Thirty-eight dishonest tricks +24638tricks+
In most textbooks of logic there is to be found a list of "fallacies", classified in accordance with the logical principles they violate.
It is intended to be a list which can be conveniently used for detecting dishonest modes of thought which we shall actually meet in arguments and speeches.
Sometimes more than one of the tricks mentioned would be classified by the logician under one heading, some he would omit altogether, while others that he would put in are not to be found here.

Among modern logicians, CSP distinguishes the formal and the anthropological logicians.
CSP proposes to list and examine twenty-eight conceptions or classes of supposed goods, e.g., the desirable in itself, but only gets as far as the fifteenth (all were taken from Greek philosophy, with Plato's conception of the ultimate good to have formed the basis of the fifteenth conception).

 perplexus.info :: Logic : Three More Logicians
After the first time they all answer, we know none of the logicians have C, D, Y or U. There is only one word that has one of those letters in them, so if one of them had C, D, Y or U then they would know the word on the first cycle.
Following the same idea, after they answer we know none of the logicians have T or A because now there is only one word that has one of those letters in them (after removing the previously mentioned words).
So at the beginning of the third cycle, the logicians have already removed Net and Man from the list, so the only word left is MEN so now they can all say yes at the same time.

Two perfect logicians, S and P, are told that integers x and y have been chosen such that 1 < x < y and x+y < 100.
We can generate a list of values of x+y that are never the sum of precisely two eligible factors.
If this enables P to deduce x and y, then, of the eligible factorizations of xy, there must be precisely one for which the sum of the factors is in the list.

 Richard Cartwright: Eulogy
I think he would not have been altogether happy with the description: accurate, no doubt, but faintly redundant--a little like describing someone as "mathematician and algebraist" or "linguist and grammarian".
Logicians are as often as not mathematicians, sometimes engineers, or economists.
Indeed, in much of his work--his most characteristic and memorable work, I think--logic and philosophy of logic are intimately connected: one cannot pull them apart without serious loss.
