Symbolic Logic was the basis of the Cybermen's control systems present in the Telos Cyber-tombs in order to test and provide humans who had great inelligence, to be subjected to Cyber-conversion and become the new race of Cybermen. The controls must have required a genius to solve them as Eric Klieg, a member of the Brotherhood of Logicians, was unable to work the controls unaided by the Second Doctor. The controls themselves consisted of a series of buttons and levers which had to be pushed and pulled in the correct sequence to operate the Cyber-Technology present within the Tombs. (DW: The Tomb of the Cybermen)

It remains unclear whether the Cybermen used symbolic logic purely for testing the intelligence of their "candidates" or if they used it for all their control systems.
