blurb

Faculty: Matt Ollis Course Number: NSC632 Credits: 3-4 Level: Advanced Time: Monday and Wednesday, 11:30am-12:50pm Place: Sci 217 Textbook: Classic Set Theory for Guided Independent Study, Goldrei (ISBN 9780412606106)
After a review of various notions from logic and set theory that will be mostly familiar from previous courses, we study a variety of topics that form the foundation of mathematics. The exact list of topics depends on the interests of the class, but some natural candidates are: cardinals and ordinals, propositional and first-order logic, axiomatic set theory, models, constructions of number systems, and categories. Students may take this course for three or four credits. Those students taking the class for four credits will undertake an extensive investigation into an additional topic.
Prerequisites: Several math courses, preferably including either Real Analysis (NSC626) or Formal Languages and the Theory of Computation (NSC543)
