Course overview

Logic and reasoning are fundamental to the way humans communicate. Our public debates and private reasoning are shaped by logical principles, even though most of us would struggle to spell them out.This course will teach students the basics of formal logic, which provides symbolic methods for representing and assessing the structure of arguments. No previous experience with symbolic methods or mathematics is assumed.
