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:
“The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face instead of chopping logic in a university classroom.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that’s done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy sphere.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
