Introduction to Computational Logic

🚀 Course Title: Introduction to Computational Logic

🎓 Course Headline: Master Propositional Logic, Natural Deduction, Derived Rules, and Predicate Logic with Expert Dr. Deeba K!

Unlock the Power of Logical Reasoning in Computer Science 🧬✨

Welcome to a journey through the foundational elements of computational logic, where you'll learn to model and reason about complex situations in computer science with precision and rigor. This course is your key to mastering the art of formal reasoning, enabling you to construct sound arguments that can stand up to scrutiny or be effectively executed on a machine.

What You Will Learn:

📚 Understanding Propositional Logic:

• Dive into the world of propositional logic, learning how to express and analyze statements that can be treated as true or false.
• Grasp the concept of logical structure within sentences, allowing for a clear and formal approach to argumentation.

Key Components of the Course:

• Parsing Logic: Learn to construct parse trees, which provide a visual representation of logical propositions.
• Valuation in Propositional Logic: Understand how to evaluate the truth or falsity of compound statements under different interpretations.
• Models in Propositional Logic: Explore the concept of logical models, which help us understand the implications and limitations of our logical propositions.

🧠 Natural Deduction and Derived Rules:

• Discover how to construct arguments step by step using Natural Deduction rules, a method for deriving conclusions from premises in a series of logical steps.
• Get to grips with common examples of Natural Deduction rules that will form the backbone of your reasoning.

Advanced Logic Techniques:

• Proof by Contradiction: Learn how to prove statements by assuming their negation and showing that this leads to a contradiction, thus proving the original statement must be true.
• Modus Tollens, Law of Excluded Middle, and Double Negation Elimination: Understand these critical derived rules and apply them to enhance your deductive reasoning capabilities.

🔀 Introduction to Predicate Logic:

• Transform natural language statements into the formal language of predicate logic, which allows for a more nuanced and precise way of expressing relationships between entities.
• Learn how to construct parse trees and perform substitution in the context of first-order logic (FOL), a cornerstone of predicate logic.
