In this course, we will aim to introduce a language for (first order predicate) mathematical logic and proceed to study the interplay between the notions of 'truth' and 'provability' in the propositional and first order predicate 'versions' of logic. We will then aim to study computability, via register machines, recursive functions and coding, and try to use these concepts to show that first order predicate logic is undecidable.
