Course description and textbooks
This is an introductory graduate course in mathematical logic. We will discuss each of the four main subjects of logic: set theory, model theory, proof theory, and computability theory. The main topics will include the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with choice, ordinal and cardinal arithmetic, the syntax and semantics of first-order logic, a first-order proof calculus, the Completeness and Compactness Theorems, the Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems, and the Incompleteness Theorems.

We will mainly be following Mathematical Logic, Second Edition by Ebbinghaus, Flumm, and Thomas, ISBN 0387942580. Homework will include problems form this book.
We will also use Chpater I of Kunen's Set Theory (Studies in Logic: Mathematical Logic and Foundations), ISBN 1848900503.
Evaluation
The final can be downloaded here and is due by midnight Dec 17. Your final grade will be determined using the formula:

60% (Homework) + 40% (Final)
