Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Formalization. Truth tables.

2. Satisfiability, tautology, contradiction. Logical equivalence. Universal systems of connectives.

3. Disjunctive and conjunctive normal forms. Full normal forms.

4. Logical consequence. Semantic trees. Satisfiable theories.

5. Resolution method. Karnaugh maps.

6. Predicate logic. Language, terms, formulas.

7. Interpretations. Logical truth, satisfiability, contradiction.

Study Objective:

Predicate logic is a formal language of mathematics. The goal of a course is to learn students to formalize their thoughts and assertions in predicate logic, to deal correctly with formulas, theories and their models.
