2. Mathematical Logic, Spring Semester (1st year course). Notes (part of a textbook, with C. Drossos and E. Papadopetrakis). Old exam sheets, available as pdf files: June 08, June 09
Exercises, Spring 2011


3. Mathematical Logic II (merging of the courses tought formerly as Ordered Sets and Algebras of Logic and Model Theory) Fall Semester (3rd year course). Course notes in Greek: by P. Karazeris, available as ps file
by C. Drossos, available as pdf file
The material covered in the course corresponds to Chapter 1, sections 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and Chapter 3 from the first set of notes and to pages 56 to 81 from the second set of notes.
Old exam sheets, available as dvi files: September 03, February 04, February 06.

Graduate:
1. Foundations of Mathematics - Mathematical Logic, Spring Semester.
Recommended literature:
[1] D. van Dalen, Logic and Structure, Springer (1980)
[2] J. L. Bell and A. Slomson, Models and Ultraproducts, North Holland (1969)
[3] A. Tzouvaras, Elements of Mathematical Logic, Ziti Editions (1998) (in Greek)

2. Category Theory (Reading Course), Usually available in Fall Semester. Although it carries the weight of half a course, it is actually taught in the form of lectures, whenever there is interest. Students are evaluated from exercises of this and that form. Some old notes in Greek, partly suitable for the course, are available as ps file. A higly recommended set of notes, written by S. Awodey, has now appeared as a book (S. Awodey, Category Theory , Oxford Logic Guides, Oxford Science Publications 2006).
