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.
The local logic seminar is meeting weekly in-person in Fall 2021 after being on pandemic hiatus during the academic year Fall 2020 – Spring 2021.
See also: the international online seminar Computability Theory and Applications.
We are offering the following course rotation (courses mostly repeating after two years):
