Lecture video on webcms (youtube)

Hi everyone. Today's lecture video is now available on webcms under Lectures. I am exporting a colour-graded and audio-improved version from Davinci as I write this, but it takes hours to process. I shall upload it in the morning.

(As predicted, the Echo 360 video is a disaster. Sorry. But it is funny to watch. The one on webcms is from my phone.)

Most importnatly, thank you for all of your great questions today!!

Tutorial practice Qs added to webcms

Hi everyone : ) I have added some tutorial practice exercises for this week to webcms under Course Work. The idea is to have a read and a think and then you will work through them together in your tutorial with your tutor. It does not matter too much if you cannot get to them before the tutorial.

The practices exercises DO NOT count towards your final mark in any way. They are just there to help you build up your skill sets with regard to creating and running your own verification environments. We start small, but some of them for Week 1 are deceptively tricky nonetheless. Have fun, and see you today at 11!

Updated lecture notes

With big thanks to Maxim Burykin for spotting two errors (the ommision of the base case in the inductive deifnintion of wffs, and an erroneous transformation of ~B into ~A in a tree-proof), the corrected lecture notes have been uploaded.

There wll be more typos I promise : ) If you think that you have spotted one then please do post in the forum and I shall hop on to it.

Thaks again Maxim, and see you all tomorrow for our first lecture!

Lecture Notes are Live!

Hi everyone!

I am writing a book for you: Formal Reasoning: A Guide for Humans and Machines : )

I have added a draft to webcms under <Lecture Notes>. I have added a Readings column to the Course Schedule section in the Course Outline.

Truth be told, you can probably make it through the course without reading the readings (I can hear you cheering as I write this), but they are there to cover everything in detial.

We are going to learn everything together by doing it together.

See you soon!
