More specifically, logic is the study of the criteria for distinguishing good arguments from bad arguments
Logic is the study of propositions and their use in argumentation. Study of inference and argument
Logic is important because it delimits a class of problems which can reliably be solved by computers, and which therefore can be handed over to the global network for solution without human checking of the results or comprehension of the methods. It is a large class of problems, since it encompasses all mathematical problems, and also superficially non-logical problems in the fields of engineering and science, once necessary modeling......
