Title activity: Logical Methods
Short description:
Usually logical methods are seen as part and parcel of mathematical methods, but that view is
too limited. Logic deals with an evaluation of the quality, including correctness, of all kinds
of reasonings and argumentations, including as a borderline case, proof. Many examples will
be discussed to illustrate this view.
Competences: Increased insight in logics as method
Previous knowledge: No specific previous knowledge required
