	Mathematical logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earlier appellations were symbolic logic (as opposed to philosophical logic); and metamathematics, which is now restricted as a term to some aspects of proof theory.
		In essentials, it is still the logic of Aristotle, but from the point of view of notation it is written as a branch of abstract algebra.
		Attempts to treat the operations of formal logic in a symbolic or algebraic way were made by some of the more philosophical mathematicians, such as Leibniz and Lambert; but their labors remained little known and isolated.

	Symbolic Logic: An Introduction to its Methods and Meaning
		The intent of the course is to introduce the ways abstract symbolic structures may be used to analyze the logical forms that constitute and are woven into deductive reasoning.
		The study of these structures is important for exploring the Anglo-American analytic philosophical tradition as well as a range of diverse disciplines that form significant parts of the contemporary intellectual landscape such as the foundations of mathematics, computer science, and linguistics.
		A number of foundational topics of 20th century logic will be briefly considered that include set theory, Russell's paradox and the main ideas of Gödel's theorems and the associated philosophical issue of whether the procedures of symbolic logic when computerized can capture the full range of human reasoning.

		The first part of symbolic logic is known as truth-functional analysis, the propositional calculus, or the sentential calculus; it deals with statements that can be assigned truth values (true or false).
		Combinations of these statements are called truth functions, and their truth values can be determined from the truth values of their components.
		Symbolic logic has been extended to a description and analysis of the foundations of mathematics, particularly number theory.

		The differences among courses, however, may appear far greater than they are in other areas of study, and some of this depends on whether the course is seen as a part of a mathematics or computer science program or as part of a philosophy program.
		Several years ago I developed SLIPS as a hypertext or webpage introduction to symbolic logic, and I still find much of the material useful in approaching the concepts of symbolic logic (much as I did in a textbook, now out of print, entitled Symbolic Logic: A Conceptual Approach).
		The main difficulty in doing this is that there are differences in symbolization and in the approach to a proof system, so it is necessary to make constant adaptations.

		In this way, logically complex sentences are understood as truth-functions of their logically simple components, similarly to the way that complex mathematical expressions are understood as quantitative functions of their mathematically simple components (i.e., constants and variables).
		You will learn how to translate sentences from a natural language (in this case, English) into the language of symbolic logic, how to test arguments stated in symbolic logic for validity using truth-functional semantics, and how to demonstrate the validity of an argument stated in symbolic logic by constructing a proof.
		Many students find symbolic logic difficult, and it tends to be difficult in ways that other subjects in philosophy are not.

		Course Objectives: The main goal of this course is to lay out the foundations of deductive logic in its two main branches: the sentential calculus (also called propositional logic) and the predicate calculus.
		These foundations include: translations of English sentences into ‘symboese,’ logical connectives, truth-tables, validity, soundness, formal proof derivation, logical quantifiers, identity, logical relations, the completeness of sentential calculus, paradoxes and some philosophical problems in logic proper.
		We will also explore other related issues such as infinite-valued logics, ‘tautology’ fractals, cellular automata, the prisoner’s dilemma, game theory, chaos, computation and undecidability in the prisoner’s dilemma.
