Course objectives
Mathematical logic. Set theory - applications (Sets and their visualizations, operations with sets). Propositional forms and formulae, definitions of basic notions, deducible rules of propositional and predicate calculus, proofs of theorems. Binary relations, their visualizations and properties ordering, equivalence, mapping. Study and utilizing of the concepts in school mathematics.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain the fundaments of Mathematical Branches, Fundaments of logic and set theory. > Propositions, propositional formulae. > Sets and their visualizations. > Operations with sets. > Propositional forms. > Definitions of basic notions. > Deducible rules of propositional and predicate calculus. > Proofs of theorems. > Binary relations, their visualizations and properties. > Equivalence relations, set partitions. > Ordered sets. > Composition of relations. > Study and utilizing of the concepts in school mathematics. Mappings between sets, equivalent sets, finite and infinite sets.
