Syllabus

Computational Logic plays an important role in many areas of computer science, including verification of hardware and software, programming languages, databases and Artificial Intelligence. This course lays the foundations for the more advanced core courses Automated Reasoning, Semantics and Verification.

The course starts with an introduction to simply typed higher-order logic. First-order predicate logic and modal logic are introduced as sublanguages of higher-order logic. Topics include:
