MATH 69 Logic (Honors Section of MATH 39)

This course begins with a study of relational systems as they occur in mathematics. First-order languages suitable for formalizing such systems are treated in detail, and several important theorems about such languages, including the compactness and Lowenheim-Skolem theorems, are studied. The implications of these theorems for the mathematical theories being formulated are assessed. Emphasis is placed on those problems relating to first-order languages that are of fundamental interest in logic. Offered in alternate years.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
