Math 3097/5097 Mathematical Logic Dr. Schwartz

 

Text: Logic for Mathematicians 
A. G. Hamilton

Topics:  We will start with a (very) brief informal introduction to statement calculus. We will then study formal statement calculus, predicate calculus, First Order Systems, and Gödel's Completeness and Incompleteness Theorems. We will discuss the ramifications of these results. Time permitting, we will look at computability, unsolvability, and, undecidability.
