Logic and Computation

As the science of truth and reasoning, logic provides the building blocks for accurate analytic thinking and computational modelling. By combining the techniques and arguments used in the humanities and the exact sciences, logic has established itself as a unique interdisciplinary field that plays a central role in artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, computer science, mathematics, philosophy and cognitive science. The minor Logic and Computation will offer students broad insight into all these areas by putting together a well-chosen package of logic-related courses from different Bachelor programmes of the University of Amsterdam.

The main goal of the minor is to offer students:

  1. An intensive introduction to the formal techniques used in logic and related areas in order to analyze the truth and complexity of information, to draw correct conclusions, to design strategies, to construct computational models, to build (counter)-arguments and to reason about uncertainty.
  2. Illustrations of the applications of these techniques in the investigation of foundational issues in mathematics and computer science and in the definition of predictive models for phenomena of various nature including linguistic meanings, music cognition and phenomena of social interactions.

Study programme

Students can design their own personalised programme with very few constraints. Courses are organised according to the four themes: Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science, Philosophy and Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence. Check the course catalogue in advance to determine which courses are needed to reach the 30EC threshold.
