IN1150 – Logical Methods
Course description
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
This is a course in basic mathematical and logical methods. Emphasis is placed on understanding and applying mathematical concepts and notation relevant to a study in computer science. The course exercises the ability to think systematically from assumptions, solve theoretical problems, as well as formalize and carry out mathematical reasoning on their own.
Learning outcome
After finishing IN1150, you?ll be able to:
- implement, understand and formalize mathematical reasoning using different proofing methods.
- apply basic quantitative and know basic notation and terminology regarding sets
- understand the basic statement logic and first order logic, ie logical concepts such as valuation, logical equivalence, logical consistency, validity, fulfillment, falsibility and contradiction.
- define, apply and calculate basic mathematical structures such as amounts, tuples, relationships, functions, equivalences, partitions, formulas, strings, languages, graphs, regular expressions.
- define sets inductively, define functions recursively on these quantities and prove claims about these using induction evidence.
- apply and explain basic combinatorics, graph theory, formal languages and logical calculations.

Teaching
Spring semester: Students are offered 4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of group lectures each week, combined with online education. Getting mandatory assignments approved is required. Read more about requirements for assignment of assignments, group work and legal cooperation under guidelines for mandatory tasks.
Autumn semester: Students are offered online lessions with video and interactive tasks. The video content corresponds to 4 hours of lectures per week. Academic dialogue and follow-up are provided through call services and/or discussion boards. Submission of mandatory assignments with feedback from subject coordinators and fellow students will be facilitated.
