Inhalte und Lernziele

In this course we will follow Joel H. Spencer's book titled "The Strange Logic of Random Graphs". The book is organized as a mathematical story, and thereby it touches and interlinks the areas of logic, finite model theory, probability, random graphs, and combinatorics. It is not necessary to be familiar with all these areas: One of the remarkable things about this book is that it shows paths from areas well-known to the reader to new terrain. All people attending the course should prepare for a talk and notes for one session. The language of the course will be English.
