Program in Logic and Foundations
Faculty
The permanent faculty who specialize in Logic and Foundations are Peter G. Hinman and Andreas R. Blass. Individual information about each
is available by following the links to their home pages.
Courses
The Department offers two undergraduate and five graduate courses in logic.
Follow the links for course descriptions.
Math 481 and 582 are largely taken by undergraduate concentrators in
Mathematics, Computer Science, or Philosophy. A graduate student who is
interested in logic will normally begin with Math 681, which is offered
each Fall term. The courses Math 682, 683, and 684 are offered on a rotating
basis depending on the demand. Math 781
is in principle given sporadically as the need arises and may cover any advanced topic at the
option of the instructor. However, in recent yeare there has not been sufficient demand to allow this course to run.
Michigan Logic Seminars
The Logic Seminar
is held sporadically during the Fall and Winter terms, usually
Thursday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:30. This is an informal forum which welcomes
talks on any topic of logical interest. Participants include Mathematics faculty
and graduate students, Computer Science faculty (several of whom were trained
as logicians), and on occasion faculty from other nearby institutions
such as Eastern Michigan University, Bowling Green State University (Ohio),
and the University of Windsor (Ontario, Canada).
A related seminar of interest is organized by the theory group of the Computer Science Department. This takes place weekly on
Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30 and is regularly attended by Mathematics faculty and
graduate students interested in logic.
