Carnegie Mellon Summer School in Logic and Formal Epistemology In the summer of 2009, the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University will hold a three-week summer school in logic and formal epistemology for promising undergraduates in philosophy, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, and other sciences. The goals are to o introduce students to cross-disciplinary fields of research at an early stage in their career; and o forge lasting links between the various disciplines. The summer school will be held from Monday, June 8 to Friday, June 26, 2009. There will be morning and afternoon lectures and daily problem sessions, as well as planned outings and social events. The summer school is free. That is, we will provide o full tuition, and o dormitory accommodations on the Carnegie Mellon campus. So students need only pay round trip travel to Pittsburgh and living expenses while there. There are no grades, and the courses do not provide formal course credit. Instructions for applying can be found on the summer school web page, http://www.phil.cmu.edu/summerschool Materials must be received by the Philosophy Department by March 15, 2009.
