Course description

While elementary logic courses focus on using particular types of logic, this module makes logic itself the subject of investigation. The course will investigate the very limits of reason; more specifically, it will tackle: Henkin's completeness proof for first order logic; and Gödel's celebrated incompleteness theorem. Along the way, there will be preparatory discussion of elementary computability theory and model theory
