| Prerequisite |
CSE 150 or CSE 215 or MAT 200 or MAT 250
|
| Course Outcomes |
- An understanding of classical propositional and predicate logic, including a full development of syntax, semantics, and proof techniques
- An understanding of semantic and syntactic concepts, e.g., truth versus proof, by exploring the soundness and completeness of calculi for these logics
- An ability to apply abstract reasoning skills through experience with formal proofs
- A working knowledge of non-classical logics and their use in Computer Science
