SWS

  • 2/2/0

Modules

Examination method

  • Written exam



This course will introduce you to propositional logic and first-order predicate logic. After reviewing syntax and semantics, we will cover some basic concepts like normal forms, substitution, and unification. You will be introduced to proof procedures such as the resolution calculus and related concepts including soundness, completeness, and decidability.

The lecture ends on November 25, and we continue with Science of Computational Logic

Exercise Book

Please pay attention to our guidelines.

Test Exams

We plan to run two test exam where participation is compulsory and results will count for 10% of the final grade.

Test Exam 1: Monday 2th November

Test Exam 2: Wednesday, 9th December

Final Exam: 19th December, 10am in Room ZEU/255/Z (Zeunerbau, Georg-Bährstrasse 3c).

Written Exam

This course will be examined as a part of the Foundations exam. The Foundation exam consists of two separate exams: a written examination for the course Logic and an oral examination for the course Science of Computational Logic. The written exam is scheduled shortly before Christmas.

Some remarks on the style of the written exam in logic

  • no exam aids or support materials will be allowed. In other words, only writing materials are allowed.
  • The emphasis of the exam will be on the proofs of theorems, propositions and lemmata from the lectures and the proofs occurring with the problems from the tutorials.
  • In addition, in the first problem of the exam we will usually ask for some definition or algorithm presented on the lectures, e.g. define concepts like substitution, resolvent, interpretation, Skolemization, ... or algorithms like unification, transformation to clause form, ...
  • Maybe, one or two exam problems will be the application of some of the presented calculi (e.g. resolution, natural deduction, normalform transformation, etc).
