Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems
2024 Spring semester Fri 14:00 -- 15:30 i/221
First class:16th February
The
course will strictly follow Raymond Smullyan's book of the same title
(see below for details). The book examines Gödel's theorems and some
related theorems (Tarski, Shepherdson) in a rather broad and general
framework.. It contains a number of exercises that contribute
significantly to understanding. Classes usually start with some of
these problems (I always tell you which ones to try to solve in the
previous class). Your grade will depend on your achivement
in problem solving. Prerequisite: Classical first-order logic
