Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: understand and explain key notions of first-order logic (tautology, entailment, formal language, axiomatization, formal proof) and non-classical logics; apply formal techniques of controlling whether a formula is a tautology and whether an argument is valid; apply formal techniques (equivalent transformations, proving by means of Gentzen's sequential calculus); apply techniques to an ordinary reasoning (negations or equivalences of sentences, validity of an argument)
