Graduate & Undergraduate programs in mathematical logic

The Department of Mathematics at University of Hawaii at Manoa has long had an informal graduate program in logic, lattice theory, and universal algebra (People, Courses, Description) going back to Alfred Tarski’s 1963 student William Hanf.

During 2022-2023 the logic seminar had talks by outside speakers from Chiba, Yamaguchi, Wisconsin, and Belgrade.

We are offering the following course rotation (courses mostly repeating after two years):
