逻辑学

BachelorMasterPhD
Major Highlights

Logic boasts a long and profound history and cultural heritage in China. This major aims to cultivate students' rigorous thinking skills, critical analytical abilities, and capacity to solve complex problems. By integrating traditional Chinese logic with modern mathematical logic, students will acquire a powerful set of cognitive tools, providing a solid foundation for careers in academic research, artificial intelligence, law, finance, and other fields. China's rapid development in artificial intelligence and big data offers unique application scenarios and broad development prospects for graduates of logic.

Knowledge System

The knowledge system of logic encompasses multiple branches such as formal logic, mathematical logic, philosophical logic, and applied logic, aiming to train students to master correct methods of thinking and rules of inference. Through study, students will gain a deep understanding of the essence of concepts, judgments, and reasoning, master formalized language and proof methods, and be able to use logical tools to analyze and solve practical problems. The course emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, cultivating students' abstract thinking and rigorous argumentation skills.
