Fallacies
Fallacy (list) incorrect argumentation in reasoning resulting in a misconception or presumption. By
accident or design, fallacies may exploit emotional triggers in the listener or interlocutor (appeal to
emotion), or take advantage of social relationships between people (e.g. argument from authority).
Fallacious arguments are often structured using rhetorical patterns that obscure any logical argument.
Fallacies can be used to win arguments regardless of the merits. There are dozens of types of fallacies.

Formal logic
Formal logic Mathematical logic, symbolic logic and formal logic are largely, if not completely
synonymous. The essential feature of this field is the use of formal languages to express the ideas whose
logical validity is being studied.

Computability theory

Computability theory branch of mathematical logic that originated in the 1930s with the study of computable
functions and Turing degrees. The field has grown to include the study of generalized computability and
definability. The basic questions addressed by recursion theory are "What does it mean for a function from the
natural numbers to themselves to be computable?" and "How can noncomputable functions be classified into a
hierarchy based on their level of noncomputability?". The answers to these questions have led to a rich theory
that is still being actively researched.
