Mathematical logic develops the kind of thinking that is needed by the future planners of technical devices in order to have end-user friendly, logical technical applications. The skills developed by learning and understanding mathematical logic form a foundation to support both specific skills such as computer programming, and more general planning and development skills. These are needed in several disciplines, including engineering, physics and medical science. The skills developed are important for creative and innovative problem solving, and help create a skilled future work force for a competitive and economically expanding Europe.

We wish to engage with business enterprises who perceive that there is a mathematical logic "skills shortage" within their organisation. We want to discover how this skills shortage manifests itself in the workplace, and investigate how we can design and deploy educational materials that best address these issues.

Project aims

Learning material will be available appropriate for both educational and industrial learning environments. The material will include theory, examples, exercises and exam questions – everything you need to get started developing your employees' mathematical skills.

When the project has completed the learning materials we will be testing their delivery in both educational and business environments.
