 +  * Basically, calculi are the tools we use to derive (and prove) theorems. Given a set of valid formulas and a sound calculus, new valid formulas (tautologies) can be derived. As far as I know, the semantic notion of "​validity"​ corresponds to "​provability"​ in the calculus, since it does not consider any notion of "​truth"​.

 +  * A deductive system is sound if all provable formulas are valid. It is complete if all valid formulas are provable.
 +  * Validity is a semantic property ($A \models B$), while provability a syntactic one ($A \vdash B$). So, in other words we have:
 +      * Soundness: $A \vdash B \longrightarrow A \models B$
 +      * Completeness:​ $A \models B \longrightarrow A \vdash B$
