Math Logic and Its Origin

Math Logic is the study of arguments. An argument is a

sequence of statements of which one is intended as a conclusion,
and the others, the premises, are intended to prove or at least
provide some evidences for the conclusion. Logic, in the
broadest sense, is the study of methods and principles used to
distinguish correct from incorrect reasoning.

Aristotle was the founder of Logic, and later investigation

has not superseded his work but extended the field. From the
beginning, it has been recognized that in all thinking there are
certain presuppositions, three of which have been known as the
laws of thought. They are the law of identity, contradiction and
excluded middle. A common technique of thinking called as
Deductive is largely reducible to a syllogism. The investigation
of deduction and the elaboration of the syllogism are the work of
Aristotle, and the Aristotelian Logic has been the logic of
schools and men in general.
