Introductory Symbolic Logic

PHIL 9, Introductory Symbolic Logic. 

Welcome to PHIL 9, Introductory Symbolic Logic! Symbolic logic, as we will learn about it, is a relatively new enterprise with far-reaching applications to linguistics, mathematics, computer science, and more! I’m eager to show you some of my favorite topics in symbolic logic, and to learn about the ideas, questions, and theories you connect with. 

Please read the syllabus, and watch the welcome videos (link & link) because they contain important information about the course.
