Overview

 

The AII Graduate Summer School in Logic is organized by the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS) and the Department of Mathematics of the National University of Singapore, with funding from the John Templeton Foundation and the University. The Graduate Summer School bridges the gap between a general graduate education in mathematical logic and the specific preparation necessary to do research on problems of current interest in the subject. In general, students who attend the AII Summer School should have completed their first year, and in some cases, may already be working on a thesis. While a majority of the participants will be graduate students, some postdoctoral scholars and researchers may also be interested in attending.

Having completed at least one course in Mathematical Logic is required, and completion of an additional graduate course in either set theory or recursion theory is strongly recommended. Students should be familiar with the Gödel Completeness and Incompleteness Theorems and with the Gödel and Cohen Independence Theorems in Set Theory.

Some preference will be given to students who have not previously attended an AII Summer School, but all interested graduate students are welcome to apply.

Application

 

Applications are invited from interested students. Each student selected for participation will be provided with a stipend of US$1500 plus accommodation for the duration of the AII Graduate Logic Summer School. Applications are open and decisions made from 1 Apr 2013 on a rolling basis. Up to 25 students will be admitted.

 

All students must apply using this online financial assistance application form.

Application for financial support is closed.
