After successful completion of the course, students are able to distinguish and to apply important concepts, techniques, and results of formal logic and computability theory. Moreover, students who pass the fianl exams should be able to understand and to explain connections between topics like incompleteness of arithmetical calculi, undecidabiltiy, formal provability and expressibility.
ETCS Breakdown:
6 ETCS = 150 hours
- 38 hours: lecture time (+ 8 hours repetitorium for students not having a firm previous knowledge in logic)
- 52 hours: 4 blocks of problems/exercises
- 60 hours: examination (preparation time)

Lectures will be pre-recorded and accessible via TUWEL. In addition we plan to offer a physical meeting every Thursday 11:15-13:00, starting with October 7th, 2021. Tutorial sessions for the Logic part will take place on Monday, October 11, 18, 25 and November 8, 11:00-13:00.
Note that you can attend the in person classes, only if you comply with the 3-G access rules.
Knowledge of classical propositional logic and of basic concepts of classical first order logic (logical consequence, interpretations and model structures, satisfiability versus validity, acquaintance with various proof systems), a firm understanding of the syntax/semantic distinction, some experience with formal specification, acquaintance with a range of different programming paradigms (imperative, functional, logical), and automata theory (finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines)
NB: If you don't have a firm background in logic yet, you are asked to join special repetitorium classes, which are open to all participants.
