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 logic of the world is prior to all truth and falsehood.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
