Contents
- propositional logic (syntax and semantics, equivalence and normal forms, satisfiability, proof calculi, correctness and completeness)
- predicate logic (syntax and semantics, undecidability, equivalence and normal forms, optionally: horn formulas and resolution, proof calculi, correctness and completeness, unification)
- Applications, e.g: Logic Programming, SAT Algorithms, Modal and Temporal Logic
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- understand the algorithmic handling of logic questions,
- understand the structure of a logical system,
- understand the expressiveness of a logical system,
- To recognize structures of logic in computer science,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction and proving),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
