| Oct 10 at 9:33 | comment | added | solatia | For new fields, it might be common for graduate students to read the original papers by the founders of the field. However this is not usually the case, as there are generally plenty of books that organize the theory much better. Graduate students usually read papers once they've understood the basics of the field (by reading books and taking courses), to begin exploring newer & deeper theories where the literature may not be as organized. This is usually for learning the material required to write their own thesis | |
| Oct 10 at 9:28 | comment | added | solatia | Graduate students generally start by taking certain courses or reading books. As an example, you might read David Marker's Introduction to Model Theory, either as an undergrad (if offered) or early postgrad. Similarly many notes for actual postgrad courses can be found online. I would recommend checking out intro logic books, then choose a subfield of logic your interested in, e.g.: model theory, proof theory, computability, etc. Computability and Logic by Boolos might be up your alley considering a background in programming. | |
