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 on hiatus due to the pandemic.
However, now is a good time to join the international online seminar Computability Theory and Applications.
We are offering the following course rotation (courses mostly repeating after two years):
