Tik-79.146 Logic in Computer Science: Special Topics I
Spring 1998
This is an advanced course on logic and its applications in computer
science and engineering. Subjects covered this year are:
modal logics (syntax, semantics and proof theory) and
applications of temporal logic in concurrent and distributed systems.

Home Assignments
There are 3 compulsory home assignments (see Program). Each
student is given a personal assignment.
-
The first home assignment is distributed starting on Monday 9.2.98 at the
lecture 14-16 o'clock.
The deadline for the first assignment is Monday 2.3.98.
- The second home assignment is distributed starting on Monday
23.3.98 at the lecture 14-16 o'clock.
The deadline for the second assignment is Wednesday 15.4.98.
- The third home assignment is distributed starting on Monday
20.4.98 at the lecture 14-16 o'clock.
The deadline is Monday 11.5.98.
