Mereologia ja logiikka

Jeremy Meyers (Stanfordin yliopisto) pitää lyhytkurssin aiheesta mereologia ja logiikka. Kurssi on yhden opintopisteen (1 op) arvoinen matematiikan syventävä erikoiskurssi, jonka voi suorittaa osallistumalla luennoille.

Short course on Mereology and Logic (10 h)

John Jeremy Meyers (Stanford University) gives a short course on topics in mereology and logic. Mereology is the study of "parts" and "wholes", and is related to philosophy and conceptual modeling. Mereology has been studied in formal settings starting with Lesniewski's Foundations of a General Theory of Manifolds (1916, in Polish), and has even been suggested as an alternative foundation of mathematics. The course will emphasize issues related to modal-like logics. The course will begin with a gentle introduction.

The course consists of five 2h lectures:

    Mon 27.9. 16–18 Pinni B4116
    Wed 29.9. 14–16 Pinni B4116
    Mon 4.10. 16–18 Pinni B4116
    Wed 6.10. 14–16 Pinni B4116
    Fri 8.10. 14–16 Pinni B4115

University of Tampere students will receive 1 credit in mathematics for attending the course.
