First Order Logic - Fundamentals...

Fouad Sabry

What Is First Order Logic
 
First-order logic is a collection of formal systems that are utilized in the fields of mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Other names for first-order logic include predicate logic, quantificational logic, and first-order predicate calculus. In first-order logic, quantified variables take precedence over non-logical objects, and the use of sentences that contain variables is permitted. As a result, rather than making assertions like "Socrates is a man," one can make statements of the form "there exists x such that x is Socrates and x is a man," where "there exists" is a quantifier and "x" is a variable. This is in contrast to propositional logic, which does not make use of quantifiers or relations; propositional logic serves as the basis for first-order logic in this sense.
