The UCLA Logic Center was established in the Fall of 2004, by a generous, anonymous donation. Its purpose is to foster teaching and research in logic, broadly understood to include all areas of mathematical and philosophical logic as well as the applications of logic to philosophy, linguistics and computer science. It provides support for graduate students, faculty and visitors, and it organizes scientific meetings, in association with other groups at UCLA and in the greater Southern California area.
The faculty affiliated with the Logic Center includes members of the UCLA Departments of Mathematics, Philosophy and Linguistics, as well as logicians from Caltech, UC Irvine, and the University of Southern California.
Famous quotes containing the words logic and/or center:
“It is the logic of our times,
No subject for immortal verse—
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
“Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
