List of formal systems

{{Short description|none}}

This is a list of formal systems, also known as logical calculi.

Mathematical

  • Functional calculus, a way to apply various types of functions to operators
  • Matrix calculus, a specialized notation for multivariable calculus over spaces of matrices
  • Umbral calculus, the combinatorics of certain operations on polynomials
  • Vector calculus (also called vector analysis), comprising specialized notations for multivariable analysis of vectors in an inner-product space

  • Modal μ-calculus, a common temporal logic used by formal verification methods such as model checking
  • Lambda calculus, a formulation of the theory of reflexive functions that has deep connections to computational theory
  • Kappa calculus, a reformulation of the first-order fragment of typed lambda calculus
  • Rho calculus, introduced as a general means to uniformly integrate rewriting into lambda calculus
  • Process calculus, a set of approaches to formulating formal models of concurrent systems
  • Ambient calculus, a family of models for concurrent systems based on the concept of agent mobility
  • Join calculus, a theoretical model for the design of distributed programming languages
  • π-calculus, a formulation of the theory of concurrent, communicating processes, that was invented by Robin Milner
  • Relational calculus, a calculus for the relational data model
  • Domain relational calculus
  • Tuple calculus, inspired the SQL language
  • Refinement calculus, a way of refining models of programs into efficient programs
