Learning outcomes and competences

To know the main topics of propositional logic and first order logic, with a special focus on automated therem proving.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Discrete Structures

Program

Proposicional logic: syntax and semantics; satisfazibility, validity. normal forms; SAT solvers; deduction systems; soundness and completeness of deduction systems; decidability. Fist-order logic: syntax and semantics;models; validity; normal forms; deduction systems; soundness and completeness; decidable fragments; first-order theories.

Automated theorem proving: Horn clauses; unification; resolution.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching methods are based on expository lecturing and exercises complemented with programming coursework that enables the student practice the methods studied in the course.

Eligibility for exams

Students are required a minumum of 6 (out of 20) in each test. All the studens can take the resit exam.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final grade (FT - firts test, ST - second test)
F = FT*(0.5) + ST*(0.5)
FT,ST >= 6 e F >= 9.5
