Deleted text from main article edit
I deleted the following text, which I think was inaccurate, and goes into too much depth for a disambig page:
- In the most general sense, the term calculus refers to a system of formal rules of inference and axioms that are used for computation. MathWorld defines it as "an abstract theory developed in a purely formal way". [1]
- The more generalized usage is particularly common in mathematical logic, where a calculus is applied to compute universally true statements of a certain formal logic. Examples include the calculus of natural deduction, the sequent calculus, as well as many other calculi that are deviced in proof theory.

I added it back in as a shorter link to Logical calculus, as it seemed odd that the "calculus" disambiguation page made no reference to the meaning of calculus itself. --PA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.147.59 (talk) 23:53, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
