Scandinavian Logic Society

Scandinavian Logic Society is a mathematics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Scandinavian Logic Society rather than just read about it. In short: The Scandinavian Logic Society, abbreviated as SLS, is a not-for-profit organization with objective to organize, promote, and support logic-related events and other activities of relevance for the development of logic-related research and education in the Nordic Region of Europe. The society is a member of the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology.

Key takeaways

Scandinavian Logic Society belongs to mathematics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Scandinavian Logic Society to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Scandinavian Logic Society from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Scandinavian Logic Society, abbreviated as SLS, is a not-for-profit organization with objective to organize, promote, and support logic-related events and other activities of relevance for the development of logic-related research and education in the Nordic Region of Europe. The society is a member of the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology.

History The SLS was founded on 20 August 2012, at the 8th Scandinavian Logic Symposium in Roskilde, Denmark. Today the society has its seat in Stockholm, Sweden. It unites academics from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden working primarily on theory and applications of logic to computer science, philosophy, mathematics and linguistics.

Presidents The SLS is led by Executive Committee. The presidents of the SLS:

2012-2017 Dag Normann 2017–present Valentin Goranko

Main activities

Scandinavian Logic Symposium (SLSS) The Society organizes regular Scandinavian Logic Symposia (SLSS) every 2–4 years on a geographically rotating principle. The primary aim of the Symposium is to promote research in the field of logic (broadly conceived) carried out in research communities in Scandinavia.

Past symposia 1968: 1st symposium in Åbo/Turku, Finland 1971: 2nd symposium in Oslo, Norway 1973: 3rd symposium in Uppsala, Sweden 1976: 4th symposium in Jyväskylä, Finland 1979: 5th symposium in Aalborg, Denmark 1982: 6th symposium in Telemark, Norway 1996: 7th symposium in Uppsala, Sweden 2012: 8th symposium in Roskilde, Denmark 2014: 9th symposium in Tampere, Finland 2018: 10th symposium in Gothenburg, Sweden 2022: 11th symposium in Bergen, Norway 11th symposium scheduled for 2020 in Bergen, Norway, was postponed for 2022 due to pandemic of COVID-19

Nordic Logic (Summer) School (NLS) The Society organizes regular Nordic Logic Schools every 2–4 years. The intended audience is advanced master students, PhD-students, postdocs and experienced researchers wishing to learn the state of the art in a particular subject.

Past schools 2013: 1st summer school in Nordfjordeid, Norway 2015: 2nd summer school in Helsinki, Finland 2017: 3rd summer school in Stockholm, Sweden 2022: 4th summer school in Bergen, Norway 4th summer school scheduled for 2020 in Bergen, Norway, was postponed for 2022 due to pandemic of COVID-19

General meetings of the SLS General meetings of the Society are held regularly during the Scandinavian Logic Symposium.

Membership Membership in the SLS is open to all interested persons who agree with and support the objectives of the Society.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Scandinavian Logic Society

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Scandinavian Logic Society claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Scandinavian Logic Society before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Scandinavian Logic Society ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Scandinavian Logic Society

In research: Scandinavian Logic Society appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Scandinavian Logic Society in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Scandinavian Logic Society is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 establishments in Sweden, Information technology organizations based in Europe, Logic organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Scandinavian Logic Society outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
