==== Objectives ====

The objective of the course is to present:
  * different models of computation,
  * their programming paradigms,
  * their mathematical descriptions, both //concrete// and //abstract//,
  * some intellectual tools/techniques for reasoning on models.

The course will cover the basic techniques for assigning meaning to programs with higher-order, concurrent and probabilistic features (e.g., domain theory, logical systems, well-founded induction, structural recursion, labelled transition systems, Markov chains, probabilistic reactive systems, stochastic process algebras) and for proving their fundamental properties, such as termination, normalisation, determinacy, behavioural equivalence and logical equivalence. Temporal and modal logics will also be studied for the specification and analysis of programs. In particular, some emphasis will be posed on modularity and compositionality, in the sense of guaranteeing some property of the whole by proving simpler properties of its parts.


----

==== Prerequisites ====

There are no prerequisites, but the students are expected to have some familiarity with discrete mathematics, first-order logic, context-free grammars, and code fragments in imperative and functional style.

==== Exam ====

The evaluation will be solely based on oral exams, which can involve the assignment of written exercises.

Registration to exams (mandatory): [[https://esami.unipi.it/esami/|Exams registration system]]

During the oral exam the student must demonstrate 
  * knowledge: his/her knowledge of the course material, and 
  * problem solving: the ability to solve some simple exercises, and
  * understanding: the ability to discuss the reading matter thoughtfully and with propriety of expression.
