Sep 17, 2012 at 16:36 comment added TLss One problem with mathematical logic is that the point of much of the care that some seemingly obvious issues need to be addressed is lost without deep examples. I felt like Kunen's book on Set Theory and Independence Proofs, for example, was the first time I really truly understood some of the import of abstract notions of incompleteness one learns in logic. When you actually see models with CH and with not-CH, you see why this stuff matters in a way that is hard to just learning logic alone. Of course, you do need some logic to understand Kunen.

Nov 3, 2010 at 0:18 comment added user6976 @Keith: cicadas are discussed here: mathoverflow.net/questions/43397/…. Seriously though, engineers use propositional logic and all sorts of non-standard logics alot, in problems related to control of complex systems, for example. I once helped supervise a PhD student in engineering applying non-standard logics
Nov 2, 2010 at 23:08 comment added KConrad A standard logic course for math majors, that I've heard, but for engineering majors too? There must be some really philosophically inclined engineering students at Vanderbilt. :)
