The courses in logic at Harvard cover all of the major areas of mathematical logic—proof theory, recursion theory, model theory, and set theory—and, in addition, there are courses in closely related areas, such as the philosophy and foundations of mathematics, and theoretical issues in the theory of computation.
An introduction to the 'limitative' theorems of deductive logic, including the undecidability of first-order logic, the Gödel incompleteness theorems, and the arithmetical undefinability of arithmetical truth. Intended as a sequel to PHIL 1630; previous participation in either that course or one of similar content is strongly recommended.
Logic has applications in essentially every field that seeks to express or understand the truth or reality, including everything from the arts and sciences to journalism, social movements, and human relationships.
The computer ranks among the top-five inventions of humanity thus far, competing with things like fire and agriculture. The computer as we know it today is a natural culmination of the millennia-old study of logic that was conceptualized in earnest by the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954).
Typical discussions of logic will revolve around topics like math, the hard sciences, and computers. Subjects like music are usually left out of the stereotypical conversations about logic. But this need not be so.
The study of logic goes back to Aristotle. It is among the oldest intellectual disciplines. The Greeks included logic as part of the trivium – literally, “the place where three roads meet” – that includes grammar, the study of the structure of language, and rhetoric, the study of persuasiveness.

To help students get prepared earlier in their academic careers, Genesereth is helping to introduce logic at select high schools in the Bay Area, including Palo Alto High School and Monta Vista High in Cupertino.
Genesereth’s approach begins with a new formulation of logic known as Herbrand semantics. Herbrand semantics is simpler and, therefore, easier to teach and to learn. Herbrand semantics makes the material more accessible and more relevant to everyone.
Herbrand semantics is simpler and, therefore, easier to teach and to learn. Herbrand semantics makes the material more accessible and more relevant to everyone. The traditional approach to teaching semantics is so complex that it is often not taught at all, and when it is introduced, it is usually in college or later.

A full-year course that will increase a student’s ability to refute the untruths that evolutionists claim as fact. Includes both a student text and a separate teacher’s guide with all necessary quizzes and tests. Teaches methods that are reliable and effective in defending truth.
Logic is the study of the way God thinks. So, by studying logic, you are actually doing theology! This is a great point to emphasize for students who fancy themselves theologians, but are not terribly excited about logic.

You will learn about the validity and soundness of arguments, truth-functions, truth-tables, and formal derivations, translations to and from a formal language. Sentential calculus and predicate logic, including soundness and completeness results, are more topics you will study.
