Objectives and Content
Objectives:
The course gives an introduction to basic concepts and techniques of mathematical logic.
Content:
The course presents reasoning systems and formal semantics for propositional and first-order logic, as well as proofs for soundness and completeness. One presents also the notions of decidability and compactness.

Knowledge
The student knows:
- the basic concepts from mathematical logic, such as:
- formal reasoning
- formal semantics
- decidability
- the relations between these: soundness, completeness, compactness.
Skills
The student can:
- give correct logical arguments
- find errors in incorrect arguments
Generell competence
The student can:
- discuss logical arguments and their correctness with others
- communicate the basic concepts of logic and their relevance for computer science
