Prerequisites

The course assumes some familiarity with first-order logic. Knowledge of lambda-calculus is useful, but not required.

Course objectives

This is a theoretical course examining a correspondence between type systems and certain logic calculi. It can be seen as a companion to the course IA011 Programming Language Semantics. The target audience are students with an interest in proof calculi and the lambda-calculus.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, students will understand the basic properties of intuitionistic logic. They will be able to compare proof calculi with typed versions of the lambda-calculus, and to transfer programming language constructs into logic and vice versa.

Syllabus

• intuitionistic logic
• the simply typed lambda-calculus
• the Howard-Curry correspondence
• combinators
• classical logic
• first-order logic
• second-order logic
• dependent types
