See CRICOS-registered alternativesLogic aims to uncover the most general patterns of good reasoning, so as to improve the way we draw inferences and even allow us to automate parts of that process. It is fundamental to the study of philosophy, mathematics, and computer science, and it has strong connections with many disciplines including law, psychology, and linguistics. Reasoning also occurs everywhere, from the privacy of one's own mind to political and scientific debates in the public domain, and all good reasoning is implicitly governed by logical principles. Developing an explicit grasp of those principles then is an important transferrable skill, as that understanding can help one to spot when arguments have gone awry and how to get them back on track. This subject will provide a gentle introduction to some of the basic elements of deductive logic, including the formalisation of arguments, propositional and predicate logic, and an accessible method of proof known as "semantic tableaux". It will also touch on a number of more discipline-specific topics. This is a level 3 subject. This subject includes live sessions with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
