Frege's Begriffsschrift

Frege's Begriffsschrift, or "concept script," is a formal language designed to precisely express logical ideas and mathematical reasoning. It introduces special symbols and structured notation to represent statements, relationships, and logical operations clearly and unambiguously. This system allows for rigorous analysis of arguments, making it possible to identify valid reasoning and detect errors. Essentially, Frege's work laid the groundwork for modern formal logic and was a crucial step toward developing computer logic, enabling complex reasoning to be represented symbolically rather than relying solely on natural language.
