 The AII Graduate Summer School in Logic is organized by the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS) and the Department of Mathematics of the National University of Singapore, with funding from the John Templeton Foundation and the University. The Graduate Summer School bridges the gap between a general graduate education in mathematical logic and the specific preparation necessary to do research on problems of current interest in the subject. In general, students who attend the AII Summer School should have completed their first year, and in some cases, may already be working on a thesis. While a majority of the participants will be graduate students, some postdoctoral scholars and researchers may also be interested in attending.

 Having completed at least one course in Mathematical Logic is required, and completion of an additional graduate course in either set theory or recursion theory is strongly recommended. Students should be familiar with the G?del Completeness and Incompleteness Theorems and with the G?del and Cohen Independence Theorems in Set Theory.

 Some preference will be given to students who have not previously attended an AII Summer School, but all interested graduate students are welcome to apply.

 The main activity of the AII Graduate Summer School will be a set of three intensive short courses offered by leaders in the field, designed to introduce students to exciting, current research topics. These lectures will not duplicate standard courses available elsewhere. Each course will consist of lectures with problem sessions. On average, the participants of the AII Graduate Summer School meet twice each day for lectures and then again for a problem session.

 Lectures will be conducted by Ronald Jensen (Humboldt-Universit?t zu Berlin), Richard Shore (Cornell University), and John Steel (University of California at Berkeley). In addition, Theodore A. Slaman and W. Hugh Woodin of the University of California, Berkeley, as well as up to four postdoctoral fellows supported by the John Templeton Foundation, will be in residence during the period of the AII Graduate Summer School.

 Immediately following the Summer School, IMS will host the three-week conference, 18 July - 5 August, entitled Computational Prospects of Infinity II: Workshops. Advanced students in the summer school will find the IMS program valuable. Accommodation on campus in the guest rooms of university halls of residence will be available until 6 August for up to 20 students (double occupancy) on a first-come-first-served basis. The rate is S$80 (plus 7% GST) per person per day for single occupancy and S$45 (plus 7% GST) per person per day for double occupancy.
