LOG - Logic


LOG 201LogicUNITS: 3
Introduction to methods of deductive inference. Concepts of inconsistency and entailment. Truth Functional Statement Logic and Quantifier and Predicate Logic. Representation of logically significant form of statements and arguments. Procedures to discover and notation to write down proofs.


LOG 335Symbolic LogicUNITS: 3
Prerequisite: LOG 201 or MA 225
Introduction to modern symbolic logic; the concept of proof, mathematical induction, recursion and the relationship between formal and informal theories (examples: group theory, Peano arithmetic). The Goedel Theorems and the mathematical study of logic.


LOG 435Advanced Logic & MetamathematicsUNITS: 3 - Offered in Spring Only
Prerequisite: LOG 335
Advanced topics in logic and metamathematics: proof procedures, first-order theories, soundness and completeness theorems, recursive functions, the formalization of arithmetic, the Goedel Incompleteness Theorems. Emphasis on mathematical study of logic and mathematics. Students cannot receive credit for both LOG 435 and LOG 535


LOG 437Model Theoretic SemanticsUNITS: 3 - Offered in Spring Only
One of the following courses: MA/LOG 335, LOG 435, MA 403, MA 407, MA 408, MA 410, MA/CSC 416, MA 421, MA 425, MA 426, CSC 333, CSC 411, CSC 417
This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods of model-theoretic semantics and its applications in logic, foundations of mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. Credit will not be given for both LOG 437 and LOG 537.


LOG 535Advanced Logic and MetamathematicsUNITS: 3 - Offered in Spring Only
Prerequisite: Graduate standing (but the essential requirement is the mathematical sophistication requisite in a graduate mathematics course. Examples: MA 403, MA 408, MA 410, MA/CSC 416, MA 425, CSC 333, CSC 417).
No one may receive credit for both LOG 435 and LOG 535. Advanced topics in logic and metamathematics: proof procedures, first-order theories, soundness and completeness theorems, recursive functions, the formalization of arithmetic, the Goedel Incompleteness Theorems. Emphasis on mathematical study of logic and mathematics. Successful completion of mathematics or computer science courses that emphasize proofs, particularly at the 400 level as evidence of requisite


LOG 537Model Theoretic SemanticsUNITS: 3 - Offered in Spring Only
Prerequisite: Graduate standing and one of the following courses: MA/LOG 335, LOG 435, one MA or CSC course at the 400-level or above.
This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods of model-theoretic semantics and its applications in logic, foundations of mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. No can receive credit for both LOG 437 and LOG 537.
