Course syllabus and organization

Single session

Lesson period
Second semester
Further information on the delivery modes of training activities for the academic year 2022/23 will be provided over the coming months, depending on the developments related to the public health situation.
Course syllabus
The course will be about classical model theory topics (quantifier elimination, Löwenheim-Skolem theorems, types, saturation). In the final part of the course, we will show some modern applications to Ramsey theory.
Prerequisites for admission
There are no specific requirements. Previous attendance of the courses "Elementi di Matematica di Base 2" (B.Sc.) and "Logica matematica 1" (M.Sc.) is suggested but not required.
Teaching methods
Blackboard lectures, notes by the teacher on selected topics.
Teaching Resources
For bibliographic references please contact the instructor.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam will be oral and it will include questions about the general theory and exercises to solve.

During the course, students will be able to test their learning by solving homework assignments.
