M.Phil 615

M.Phil 615 Symbolic Logic explores concepts, techniques, and topics involved in deductive reasoning. In particular, this course teaches students the concepts, derivation rules, and proof strategies used in symbolic logic, emphasizing classical propositional and predicate logic. Moreover, students learn translation both from formal language into English and from English into formal language, how to use truth trees and truth tables to test propositions for logical properties, and how to construct and strategically use derivation rules in proofs.
