    Extractions: MTH-3D23 : Mathematical Logic 1. Introduction: The course in concerned with foundational issues of modern pure mathematics. It is a rigorous introduction to first-order logic. Proofs will be given for most of the results discussed. Some degree of mathematical sophistication is called for and familiarity with (and a taste for) mathematical proofs, such as would be seen in a rigorous first-year analysis or algebra course, will be assumed. The prerequisite is Algebra I and there are connections with Discrete Mathematics II. 2. Timetable Hours, Credits, Assessments: 33 one hour lectures; 20 UCU. Assessment: Coursework 20% via assessed homework; 3 hour examination 80%. There will be 4 problem sheets which will make up the coursework component of the unit. Sketch solutions will be distributed and consulting hours arranged. 3. Overview: The final section of the unit is concerned with model theory: the study and classification of mathematical structures in terms of what can be said about them in 1st order languages. 4.

    Extractions: S. Valentini, M. Viale The binary modal logic of the intersection types, Abstract: Looking for a suitable logic for the subtype relation between the types of the intersection types lambda calculus we developed a modal logic with a two-places modality. We present here its main syntactical and semantical properties, that is, the completeness theorem, the finite model property, the cut-elimination theorem and a decision procedure for theoremhood. G. Sambin, S. Valentini, Topological characterization of Scott Domains, Abstract: First we introduce the notion of super-coherent topology which does not depend on any ordering. Then we show that a topology is super-coherent if and only if it is the Scott topology over a suitable algebraic dcpo. The main ideas of the paper are a by-product of the constructive approach to domain theory through information bases which we have proposed in a previous work, but the presentation here does not rely on that foundational framework.

    Extractions: Mathematical logic has been, in good part, developed and pursued with the hope of providing practical algorithmic tools for doing reasoning, both in everyday life and in mathematics, first by hand or mechanical means, and later by electronic computers. In this text elementary traditional logic is presented side by side with its algorithmic aspects, i.e., the syntax and semantics of firstorder logic up to completeness and compactness, and developments in theorem proving that were inspired by the possibilities of using computers. Here we are referring to Robinson's resolution theorem proving, and to the KnuthBendix procedure to obtain term rewrite systems, both using the key idea of (most general) unification. Thus we find the choice of topics important as well as accessible to a wide range of students in the mathematical sciences. These topics are rich in basic algorithms, giving the students a desirable hands-on experience. No background in abstract algebra or analysis is assumed, yet the material is definitely mathematical logic, logic for mathematics and computer science that is developed and analyzed using mathematical methods.

The first gives the basic syntax and sematics of the language. It gives a complete set of inference rules derived from general rules given in the installment on semantics . It proves the compactness theorem from the completeness theorem for the given rule set. There are many problems at the end of the installment which give applications of the compactness theorem. The second installment contained here gives the basic results of resolution theorem proving. postscript for first order logic postscript for resolution theorem proving The course no longer follows these notes very closely. Lectures now start with the syntax and semantics. They then explain Skolem normal form and clausal normal form for fist order theories. They then given Herbrand's theorem, making an explicit analogy with the free graph theorem for STRIPS planning given in the installment on graph search and STRIPS planning . After presenting Herbrand's theorem we prove the completeness of Robinson's binary resolution rule (with factoring treated as a seperate rule). It is then shown how the completeness of resolution implies the compactness theorem. The importance of the compactness theorem in establishing the expressive weakness of first order logic is emphasized.

    Extractions: Literature: C.C. Chang, H.J. Keisler, Model Theory, North Holland Publ. Co. 1977 W. Hodges, Model Theory, Cambridge UP, 1993 Contents: Model theory studies the variety of mathematical structures that satisfy given formal theory. It may also be described as a study of mathematical structures from the logician's point of view. Model theory at its best is a delightful blend of abstract and concrete reasoning. Among the topics to be treated in this course are Fraisse's characterisation of the notion 'elementary equivalence' (structures A,B are called elementarily equivalent if they satisfy the same first-order-sentences), the compactness theorem and its many consequences, ultraproducts, some non-standard-analysis, Tarski's decision method for the field of real numbers by quantifier elimination and Robinson's notion of model completeness. If time permits, some attention will be given to constructive and recursive model theory.

    Extractions: SEP The term "fuzzy logic" emerged in the development of the theory of fuzzy sets by Lotfi Zadeh [ Zadeh (1965) ]. A fuzzy subset A of a (crisp) set X is characterized by assigning to each element x of X the degree of membership of x in A (e.g. X is a group of people, A the fuzzy set of old people in X). Now if X is a set of propositions then its elements may be assigned their degree of truth intermediate connectives truth functions different from probability theory since the latter is not truth-functional (the probability of conjunction of two propositions is not determined by the probabilities of those propositions). Two main directions in fuzzy logic have to be distinguished (cf. Zadeh (1994) Fuzzy logic in the broad sense (older, better known, heavily applied but not asking deep logical questions) serves mainly as apparatus for fuzzy control, analysis of vagueness in natural language and several other application domains. It is one of the techniques of soft-computing , i.e. computational methods tolerant to suboptimality and impreciseness (vagueness) and giving quick, simple and

    Extractions: Logic is the study of arguments, what they are, what it means to say they are sound. As such it is central to Mathematics, Philosophy, and, to an increasing extent in recent years, Computer Science. This course unit will deal with the most basic sort of argument (i.e., in everyday parlance, what we mean by ‘A follows from B’), namely those which depend for their soundness simply on the commonly agreed interpretation of the connectives ‘not’,’and’,’or’, and ‘implies’. Essentially we shall characterise this relation of ‘follows’ in two ways, firstly in terms of preservation of truth (semantically) and secondly in terms of the formal rules it obeys (proof theoretically, or syntactically). The highlight of the course unit will be the Completeness Theorem which says that these two characterisations are equivalent. This is a fundamental result for mathematics, its essence is that if something isn't formally provable then there must be a counter-example. Aims
