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 >part: PCEF_logic__logic_of_positive_conjunctive_existential_formulas >part: HOL__higher-order_logic based on a hierarchy of types >part: logic_for_reasoning_about_computer_programs >part: Hoare_logic >part: logic_for_reasoning_about_concurrent_processes_or_mobile_processes >part: CSP >part: CCS >part: pi-calculus >part: logic_for_capturing_computability__logicforcapturingcomputability >part: computability_logic__computabilitylogic
