 CSE599DS: Finite Model Theory

Current Quarter
 Spring, 2005  (Suciu)
    Description: The course will cover several topics in finite model theory, with applications to databases, complexity theory, and formal languages. The basic methods and the fundamental results in finite model theory are elegant and powerful, yet they are little known beyond a small community, and are difficult to learn independently. The goal of the course is to make these methods and results accessible, and at the same time connect them to applications. The topics will be covered rigorously (i.e. most proofs will be discussed in details), while emphasizing both the applications and the intellectual beauty of the material.
