Learning Outcomes
The course provides a general introduction to both propositional logic and predicate logic.
Lectures and detailed handouts provide the central course material; and weekly tutorial groups provide support for students to work through the formal exercises. Four pieces of homework are treated as formative assessments. Through this weekly coursework, students are expected to acquire a working understanding of basic concepts of propositional and predicate logic, including methods for solving formal problems.
