  2. Propositional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_calculus

    The propositional calculus [a] is a branch of logic. [1] It is also called propositional logic, [2] statement logic, [1] sentential calculus, [3] sentential logic, [4] [1] or sometimes zeroth-order logic. [b] [6] [7] [8] Sometimes, it is called first-order propositional logic [9] to contrast it with System F, but it should not be confused with ...

  3. Propositional formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_formula

    The predicate calculus goes a step further than the propositional calculus to an "analysis of the inner structure of propositions" [4] It breaks a simple sentence down into two parts (i) its subject (the object (singular or plural) of discourse) and (ii) a predicate (a verb or possibly verb-clause that asserts a quality or attribute of the object(s)).

  4. Propositional function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_function

    In propositional calculus, a propositional function or a predicate is a sentence expressed in a way that would assume the value of true or false, except that within the sentence there is a variable (x) that is not defined or specified (thus being a free variable), which leaves the statement undetermined.

  7. Category:Propositional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Category:Propositional_calculus

    Propositional logic (also referred to as Sentential logic) refers to a form of logic in which formulae known as "sentences" can be formed by combining other simpler sentences using logical connectives, and a system of formal proof rules allows certain formulae to be established as theorems.

  8. First-order logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic

    First-order logic—also called predicate logic, predicate calculus, quantificational logic—is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. First-order logic uses quantified variables over non-logical objects, and allows the use of sentences that contain variables.

  9. Many-valued logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-valued_logic

    Many-valued logic (also multi-or multiple-valued logic) is a propositional calculus in which there are more than two truth values. Traditionally, in Aristotle's logical calculus, there were only two possible values (i.e., "true" and "false") for any proposition. Classical two-valued logic may be extended to n-valued logic for n greater than 2.
