fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The course covers basic results about propositional and first order logic, including Gödel's completeness and incompleteness theorems.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
understand the difference between formal notions and notions defined at a meta-level;
understand the difference between validity and provability;
understand the syntax and semantics of first-order logic;
understand and appreciate the fundamental ideas in the proofs of Gödel's completeness and incompleteness theorems.
Syllabus
  • Propositional calculus: propositional formulas, truth, provability, completeness.
  • First-order logic: syntax, semantics.
  • A deductive system for first-order logic. Provability, correctness.
  • Completeness theorem: theories, models, Gödel's completeness theorem
  • Basic model theory, Löwenheim-Skolem theorem
  • Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
