Predicate logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematical logic, predicate logic is the generic term for symbolic formal systems like first-order logic, second-order logic, many-sorted logic or infinitary logic. This formal system is distin...

Well-Formed Formula for First Order Predicate Logic ; --- Syntax Rules ... Not all strings can represent propositions of the predicate logic. Those which produce a proposition when their symbols are interpreted must follow the rules given below, and they are called wffs(well-formed formulas) of the first order predicate logic.

Predicate Logic Terms and Symbol ... Hence, another name for predicate logic is quantification theory. With the two quantifiers and negation, we can express the three quantities, all, some, and none. ... We will introduce four rules of inference for predicate logic. Universal generalization allows us to add the...

Introduction to Logic ... Nonetheless, mathematicians still feel that anything that they do should be expressible in symbolic logic, and the language that they actually use in writing down their work is a somewhat less formal version of the predicate calculus.

The Daemon Proof Checker checks proofs and can provide hints for students attempting to construct proofs in a natural deduction system for sentential (propositional) and first-order predicate (quantifier) logic.

In order to symbolize relations (i.e., properties that hold for several things), we need to introduce predicate letters that have more than one variable or individual constant. For example:
