This semester we'll be reading a selection of papers from From Frege to Gödel translated by Jean van Heijenoort. Exactly which papers will be determined on week-by-week basis─some are more difficult/interesting than others! We meet Fridays 1:30-2:30PM in CDS 1001. All faculty and students are welcome. If you want to participate in participating, please send an email to Nathan.
