Abstract

The main objects of study in mathematical logic are mathematical theories such as set theory, number theory, and the theory of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, fields, algebraically closed fields, etc., with the aim of developing tools to examine their consistency, completeness, and other similar questions concerning the foundation of these theories. In this chapter we take the first step toward logic and precisely define the notion of a first-order theory.
