Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of the MTP is to provide an exacting programme of study in those parts of mathematical logic which are currently being exploited by information technology. The MTP will provide a broad theoretical training from a mathematical perspective to students preparing for a career in the cognitive aspects of LT. The principal objectives of the course are that the students should (a) Acquire a sound knowledge of, and ability to apply, concepts from fundamental areas of mathematical logic such as the propositional and predicate calculus and recursion theory. (b) Acquire a critical familiarity with various logical systems which have applications in LT. (e.g. intuitionistic, modal, probabilistic, non-monotonic and fuzzy logics). (c) Successfully a I aspects of the knowledge gained in (a) and (b) in the elaboration of a dissertation.
