logic
Meaning
Logic is the systematic study of the principles of valid inference and correct reasoning, encompassing both formal and informal methods of argumentation, and serving as a foundational discipline in philosophy, mathematics, and computer science.
💡 While often used interchangeably with "reasoning," "logic" specifically refers to the formal structures and rules governing valid arguments, making it a more precise term in academic discourse.
