Limits of first-order definability, syntax and semantics of second-order logic, expressive power of second-order logic, second-order arithmetic, simple type theory, typed lambda calculi, interactive theorem proving in higher-order logic
First meeting: Tuesday, 25 April 2017, 14:00, seminar room "Gödel".
In the first meeting I will give a brief overview of the course and discuss administrative and assessment details. The first lecture will be on Thursday, 27 April 2017, 14:00, seminar room "Gödel".

This is an advanced course in logic. Firm knowledge of classical first-order logic (formulas, models, proofs) is a prerequisite. In the first lecture I will overview the key concepts and definitions from first-order logic.
