- ECTS
- 6
- Description
- The course offers a concise introduction to basic themes and techniques in logical dynamics intended as ``the general theory of agents that produce, transform and convey information". At the end of the course the student will have a comprehensive overview of the main research questions driving the field of dynamic epistemic logic and will be familiar with the main logical tools and notions used in the field. The project will consist of a series of lectures (1 per week) in which themes and techniques are introduced and discussed, and working sessions (1 per week) in which aspects of the lecture material are discussed in some more depth and illustrated by means of some exercises.
- Prerequisites
- Familiarity with modal logic is required.
- Assessment
- Students will be evaluated on the base of exercises (to be assigned every week) and a final paper.
