The way a computer works is closely related to the laws of thought and the structure of language.
Logic and Computation studies the laws and methods of reasoning with symbolic representations, including human languages and digital information systems. We examine the structure, design and limitations of symbolic representations and procedures in human thought and computer software. Logic and Computation uses ideas and techniques from Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics and Philosophy. It will suit you if you are capable of creative, speculative thought as well as precise calculation and problem solving.
