Proof theory and automated theorem proving (Official code: 569076)

Organisation

Lecturers: Joost J. Joosten (for the last two-and-a-half credits) and Juan Carlos Martinez Alonso (for the first two-and-a-half credits)
A course of 5 credits corresponds to 42 contact hours. Since we do three hours a week, this will correspond to 14 weeks.
The lectures will take place in Room 412 at the philosophy department/faculty at Montalegre.
Wednesdays: 15:00 -- 16:30;
Thursdays: 12:30 -- 14:00.
The course consist of two parts of equal weight. The first part is on automated theorem proving and is given by prof. Juan Carlos Martinez Alonso. The second part focuses on the more theoretical part of Proof Theory and is given by Joost J. Joosten. The final grade is determined by the average of the grades obtained for the two respective parts. Homework consists of 25 % of the grade and 75 % of the grade is constituted by a final exam. There will be a final exam (mid-term) in the middle of the course for the Automated Theorem proving part, and a final exam for the Proof Theory part of the course at the end. All materials and assignments will also be placed on this page.

As mentioned, the lecturers are Joost J. Joosten and Juan Carlos Martinez Alonso. The best way to contact one of us is by sending us a mail. You can also come around to see if we're in. Joost is in the Montalegre building in Room 4045 with phone number +34 934031939. Juan Carlos has telephone number 934021661 and his office is located in the Faculty of Mathematics (Gran Via 585).
