Formal and Mathematical Logic

Same as PHIL 362. Prerequisites: PHIL 221 or MATH 200 or permission of the instructor. Offered occasionally.

This course is an introduction to the ideas and methods of mathematical logic. The basis of predicate calculus (first order logic) will be presented in some details. More advanced topics such as Goedel's completeness and incompleteness theorems, some of the philosophico-mathematical problems in set theory and alternative logics will be discussed.
