Mathematical logic is the study of the formal systems that underlie mathematics. It is also called metalogic. Mathematical logic seeks to uncover the foundations of mathematics and to clarify the meaning of mathematical statements. It also seeks to develop new logical tools that can be used to solve problems in mathematics and computer science.
