Logic is the basis of all mathematical reasoning, and of all automated reasoning.
The rules of logic specify the meaning of mathematical statements. These rules help to
understand and reason with statements.
In Merriam Webster Dictionary, logic is a science that deals with the principles
and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration: the science of the formal
principles of reasoning. Also, it is a certain way of reasoning viewed as valid or faulty.
Similarly, Simpson (1999) stated that Logic is the science of formal principles of reasoning
or correct inference.
