COM SCI XLC 264A: Automated Reasoning: Theory and Applications introduces students to the theory and practice of automated reasoning using propositional and first-order logic. The course covers topics such as syntax and semantics of formal logic, algorithms for logical reasoning, and applications in various fields. Students will gain hands-on experience through laboratory sessions and explore the impact of syntactic and semantic restrictions on knowledge bases.
