Welcome to History, methodology and applications of logic LOG310, 7.5 credits

This course is part of the Master's Programme in Logic. 

Course content

One or several issues in the history, methodology or application of logic are chosen in consultation with the examiner, taking into account the student's specific prior knowledge. The student presents, with the help of beamer slides, and discusses his or her conclusions at a seminar. Obligatory attendance at other presentations ensure the breadth.

The course is designed to place considerable demands on the ability to engage with a text independently and with an open but critical attitude, as well as the ability to independently present the selected contents. The course can be seen as an opportunity to broaden and deepen earlier studies.
