[W]e can say that mathematical logic is the branch of mathematics that studies the logic and the methods of deduction used in mathematics... [T]here is something circular, perhaps even paradoxical, in the nature of this field. For *its subject matter is mathematical reasoning*, but since it is a branch of mathematics *its method of inquiry* must also consist of mathematical reasoning.
