     >part:  logicism  pioneered by philosopher-logicians such as Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell: the idea was that mathematical theories were logical tautologies, and the programme was to show this by means to a reduction of mathematics to logic. The various attempts to carry this out met with a series of failures, from the crippling of Frege's project in his Grundgesetze by Russell's Paradox, to the defeat of Hilbert's Program by Gödel's incompleteness theorems; however, every rigorously defined mathematical theory can be exactly captured by a first-order logical theory; Frege's proof calculus is enough to describe the whole of mathematics, though not equivalent to it
  >part:  application_of_mathematical_techniques_to_formal_logic
  >part:  sentential_logic__propositional_logic__propositional_calculus  proof theory for reasoning with propositional formulas as symbolic logic; it is extensional
  >part:  predicate_logic__predicatelogic__predicate_calculus  permits the formulation of quantified statements such as "there is at least one X such that..." or "for any X, it is the case that...", where X is an element of a set called the domain of discourse
     >part:  FOL__first-order_logic__firstorderlogic__first-order_predicate_calculus__predicate_logic__predicatelogic  FOL is distinguished from HOL in that it does not allow statements such as "for every property, it is the case that..." or "there exists a set of objects such that..."; it is a stronger theory than sentential logic, but a weaker theory than arithmetic, set theory, or second-order logic; it is strong enough to formalize all of set theory and thereby virtually all of mathematics
