Logic and Set Theory
Logic and Set Theory
Pre-requisite: (none)
Course Description: This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts and results of mathematical logic and set theory. This course introduces basic
notions that will be needed as background for most of the computer science courses. Also, the course will familiarize students with abstract
mathematical thinking. This course explains how different mathematical theories can be modeled inside the set theoretic universe, and
discuss the role of axiom choices.
Learning Outcomes:
1. properly used the vocabulary and symbolic notations of higher mathematics in definitions, theorems, and problems;
2. analyzed the logical structure of statements symbolically, including the proper use of logical connectives, predicates, and quantifiers;
3. master the construction of truth tables, prove or disprove a hypothesis, and evaluate the truth of a statement using pinciples of logic;.
4. solved problems and write proofs using the concepts of set theory, including the methods of Venn Diagrams and truth tables;
5. solved problems and write proofs using the basic definitions and the fundamental properties of subsets and operations on the real numbers, integers,
rational and irrational, even and odd, prime numbers, multiples or factors of whole numbers.
