Logic and Computation I
This is an advanced undergraduate and graduate-level course in mathematical logic and theory of computation. Topics to be presented in the first semester include: computable functions, undecidability, propositional logic, NP-completeness, first-order logic, Goedel's completeness theorem, Goedel's incompleteness theorems, modal logic and its decidability.
In the second semester, we will move on to second-order logic, modal $\mu$-calculus, infinite automata, descriptive set theory, admissible recursion, etc.

Syllabus
Part 1. Introduction to Computational Theory
Fundamentals on theory of computation and computability theory (recursion theory) of mathematical logic, as well as the connection between them.
This part is the basis for the following lectures.
Part 2. Propositional Logic and Computational Complexity
The basics of propostional logic (Boolean algebra) and complexity theory including some classical results, such as the Cook-Levin theorem.
Part 3. First Order Logic and formal arithmetic
The basics of first-order logic, Goedel's completeness theorem, Goedel's incompleteness theorems, the Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse theorem and Lindstrom's theorem.
Part 4. Modal logic
Kripke models, Kripke-complete and canonical logics, standard translation, bisimulation, decidability results, and epistemic logic. In "Logic and Computation II", we will move on to second-order logic and modal $\mu$-calculus.

Lecturer Intro
Kazuyuki Tanaka received his Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley. Before joining BIMSA in 2022, he taught at Tokyo Inst. Tech and Tohoku University, and supervised fifteen Ph.D. students. He is most known for his works on second-order arithmetic and reverse mathematics, e.g., Tanaka's embedding theorem for WKLo and the Tanaka formulas for conservation results.
