Goal
Outline Logic plays an important role in the study of software science. In this course, we study logic for specification and verification of programs.
Course plan

1. Preliminaries: Introduction to the first order logic, formal syntax and semantics of logic, mathematics and programs.

2. Formal syntax and semantics of while programs, partial correctness of while programs by Hoare Logic.

3. Total correctness of while programs and soundness of Hoare Logic.

4. Completeness of Hoare Logic, Proof outline.

5. Formal specification and verification of nondeterministic systems with guarded commands.
