Course objectives
This course is focused on understanding basic mathematical constructions necessary for derscribing program semantics and formalization of the relationship between intuitive program constructs and their mathematical meaning. This is essential for building up a set of basic concepts needeed fom other courses which fit theoretical essentials of the dicipline.
Syllabus
  • Proposotional and first order logics (an introduction).
  • Basic notions: functions, graphs, equivalence relation, trees.
  • Induction and its applications: defining sets and functions using induction.
  • Data types, lists, and implementation of general data types using lists.
  • Languages over data types and their semantics: terms, conditionals, functions; semantics of call-by-value and call-by-name.
  • Programming using induction, proving recursive programs correct.
  • Universal machine for the language of recursive programs, undecidability of the Halting Problem.
