The module introduces students to Mathematical Logic concepts and their use in Computer Science. The topics covered include: - Propositional Logic and Introduction to Critical Thinking - Solving SAT instances. DPLL algorithm, validity, satisfiability, SAT solvers - Temporal Logics. For example: Linear Temporal Logic, Computation Tree Logic, model checkers (e.g. SPIN) - Predicate Logic. First-order logic, syntax and semantics, satisfiability, SMT solvers - Program Logics. For example, Hoare logic. The module will include exercises and hands-on practicals e.g. using SAT solvers and model checkers.
