  1. predicate calculus

    Predicate calculus, also known as predicate logic, is a branch of symbolic logic that deals with predicates, classes, quantifiers and logical implications. It provides a way to analyze the structure of an argument or statement, breaking down sentences into simple statements, applying abstract reasoning to them, and then recombining them to represent logical relationships. It is widely used in a variety of fields such as mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Predicate calculus extends propositional calculus by incorporating not only logical connectives but also quantifiers, variables and predicates.
