Topics:
Formal logic appears naturally in several places in computer science.
Logic gates are the elementary building blocks of integrated circuits.
Proofs of NP-hardness often use
reductions to satisfiability of Boolean expressions. Logic provides a
concept of computability, and a wealth of problems that cannot be solved
algorithmically. Propositional and first-order logic, as well as temporal
logic and higher-order logic are used in the verification and validation
of computer algorithms.
This one-semester course offers introduction to advanced topics of formal
logic. After setting the ground by delving into propositional logic, this
course covers first-order logic and modal logic (with some
focus on normal forms and the algorithmic treatment of logic formulas) as
well as concepts and questions about (un-)decidabilty.
The 2h lectures are accompanied by problem sheets. Solutions to the problem
sheets will be handed in by the students and discussed in the problem
class. 5 credit points are obtained by solving more than 50%
of the problems on the problem sheets plus passing the written exam at
the end of the course.
