Explanation

In logic and mathematics, a formal system consists of an abstract language and a set of inference rules. It is often referred to as an uninterpreted calculus because the symbols and rules are defined without reference to any specific meaning or 'interpretation.' Algebra is a specific type of formal system, but the general definition is an uninterpreted calculus.
