Mathematics III - Logic

Logic is the study of reasoning. The treatment of logic as a mathematical subject is indispensible in both mathematics and computer science, and opens the possibility for analysing and automating many intellectual tasks, including even mathematical reasoning itself.

This course is intended as a first course in logic. It treats the two most important logics, propositional logic and predicate logic, in depth, and shows how they are used in modelling reasoning, especially mathematical reasoning. In particular, we define and study the formal language of predicate logic, its semantics (models), and natural deduction for it. We will prove soundness and completeness of natural deduction with respect to the semantics, and give some applications of these theorems.

The course consists of one element, assessed with a written examination.


Teaching Format

Instruction is given in the form of lectures and exercise sessions.


Assessment

The course is assessed through written examination, with grades between A-F where A-E are passing grades.
