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. Inference systems. Instance-based inference systems (e.g., hyper-linking). Ordering-based inference systems (e.g., resolution and paramodulation/superposition). Subgoal-reduction based inference systems (e.g., model elimination). Search plans. Algorithmic reasoning in specific fields, such as: decision procedures for satisfiability (SAT) and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT); reasoning about constraints. Design and use of general-purpose or special-purpose reasoners.

Examination Methods
Exams (First take): The grade is given by 30% C1 + 30% C2 + 40% P, where C1 is the midterm exam, C2 is the final exam, and P is a project.
Exams (Later takes): The grade is given by 100% E, where E is a written exam, as hard as midterm, final, and project combined.
There is no difference between students who attend and students who do not attend.
