Learning outcomes
The class presents problems, methods and systems in automated reasoning. The treatment combines theoretical foundations with algorithmic and practical issues, emphasizing mechanization throughout. The student learns how to design, apply, and evaluate methods and systems for automated reasoning, with attention to applications in fields such as analysis, verification, synthesis of systems, artificial intelligence, mathematics, robotics.
Program
Foundations of automated reasoning: theorem proving and model building. The problem of propositional satisfiability (SAT): the DPLL and CDCL procedures. The problem of validity in first-order logic: inference systems and search plans. Herbrand theorem. Instance-based inference systems: hyper-linking. Ordering-based inference systems: resolution and paramodulation/superposition. Subgoal-reduction based inference systems: model elimination, tableaux. Search plans: the given-clause algorithm; depth-first search with iterative deepening. Decision procedures for satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). Constraint reasoning. Design and use of general-purpose or special-purpose reasoners.

Examination Methods
First round: the grade is given by 25% C1 + 25% C2 + 50% P, where C1 is the midterm exam, C2 is the final exam, and P is a project.
Later rounds: the grade is given by 100% E, where E is a written exam, as hard as midterm, final, and project combined.
Attending all classes is crucial, however the exam rules are the same regardless of whether one attends or not.
