DESCRIPTION
The focus of the lecture is on propositional logic and first-order predicate logic. We work with natural deduction as proof system. The relation between semantic and syntactic methods is important; the central keywords are correctness, consistency and completeness. Moreover, we pay attention to expressive power, for example when formulating queries. A fundamental tool, for this purpose, is the compactness theorem. Algorithmically there the contrast between the decidability of propositional logic and the undecidability of predicate logic (for example, seen by a coding of the Post Correspondence Problem). As a variation of the mentioned logics, we consider modal logic with Kripke models as semantics.
