In this course students learn to develop skill in using logic to describe and assess
arguments.
Students will learn to write formulas in propositional and first-order logic, and
more importantly,
to write and check proofs. Students will also learn to write formulas in
three-valued and modal
logic, know how to choose an appropriate logic, and understand the limitations of
logic in
capturing human reasoning.

Sample Propositional Logic proof
Description:
I learned about two major methods to approach logic.
This first initial method deals with some logic rules and some logical proofs.
These can be translated into English sentences, which will follow the logic
proof.
Sample First Order Logic proof
Description:
I learned about two major ways to approach logic.
This second method deals with adding quantifiers upon previously learned logical
proofs. Now these can be translated into English sentences and using ideas like
All, Some, or None.
