Objectives and competences

Basic knowledge of foundations of mathematics and mathematical logic.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:
Understanding of logical foundations of mathematics and the fundamental limitations of the axiomatic method.
Application:
Logic, being the foundation of mathematics, provides the means for communication and methodology in mathematics.
Reflection:
The fact that there are mathematical problems without solutions invites a thorough reconsideration of the nature of mathematics.
Transferable skills:
Ability to formally express mathematical content. Ability to perform meta-mathematical analysis.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, exercises, homeworks, consultations

Assessment

2 midterm exams instead of written exam, written exam
Oral exam
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
