Formal logic, a branch of logic concerned with the structure of arguments and the systematic study of the principles of valid inference, reasoning, and proof, encompasses various sub-disciplines and approaches. Here's a comprehensive list of various branches and topics within formal logic:

1. Propositional Logic (Sentential Logic)¶

Syntax and Semantics of Propositional Calculus
Truth Tables
Logical Connectives
Propositional Equivalences
Tautologies and Contradictions

2. Predicate Logic (Quantificational Logic)¶

First-Order Logic
Quantifiers and Predicates
Logical Structures and Models
Interpretations and Assignments
Universal and Existential Quantification

Necessity and Possibility
Modal Operators
Kripke Semantics
Alethic, Deontic, and Epistemic Modalities

4. Temporal Logic¶

Linear vs. Branching Time
Temporal Operators
Applications in Computer Science (e.g., Verification)

5. Proof Theory¶

Natural Deduction
Sequent Calculus
Proof Systems and Derivations
Cut-Elimination and Normalization
Constructive Logic and Intuitionistic Logic

6. Model Theory¶

Formal Structures and Models
Elementary Equivalence and Embeddings
Types and Saturation
Ultraproducts and Elementary Classes

7. Set Theory¶

Axiomatic Set Theory
Ordinals and Cardinals
Continuum Hypothesis
Zermelo-Fraenkel and Von Neumann-Bernays-Gödel Set Theories

8. Mathematical Logic¶

Foundations of Mathematics
