After successful completion of the course, students are able to recognize different motivations for extending, modifying, refining, and generalizing classical logic. In particular, successful participants know how to apply concepts and techniques of modal logic to model forms of reasoning, that refer to the knowlegde and ignorance of (idealized) agents. Moreover, they have aquired an overview over the wide and varied landscape of nonclassical logical formalisms.
Introduction into modal logic, in particular epistemic logic (logics of knowledge), intuitionistic logics, many valued logics, including fuzzy logics. In particular, a number of relevant results from proof theory and formal semantics (e.g., correctness, completeness, complexity of logics and calculi) are covered. Moreover also foundational problems relating to formal, logical modeling of important concepts in computer science will be discussed.
The lectures of the course will require physical presence of participants (assuming that the pandemic situation does not force us to switch to digital mode).
The first meeting will take place on March 13, 13.00 (till about 14.30) in Seminarraum FAV EG C (Gödel), Favoritenstr. 9-11, ground floor (access via the court yard).
Please register when you want to receive updates / further information. (No obligation to actually participate is entailed.)
The default method of evaluation refers to individual solutions to exercises that are to be handed in regularly during the whole course. If insufficient, this may be augmented by assignments of additional tasks or an online exam at the end of the course.
Registration comes without further obligations. It enables communication via TISS messaging.
