Advanced Series

Title: Classical First Order Logic (FOL)

Speaker: Adam Millar

Time & Date: 2 pm - 3 pm, Saturday Oct 25

Abstract: Our goal today is to examine the logical system known as Classical First Order Logic (FOL). This is the traditional logic employed in every realm of mathematics to construct rigorous proofs. We will learn how to divine the logical structure of a sentence, and understand in greater detail how deductive proofs work.

Just an update: (MC)^2 will be in the story room this weekend, rather than the teen room. It will also be on the third floor of the Princeton Public Library.

Thanks,
