The Logic and Philosophy of Science Minor aims at developing philosophical skills and efficiency in problem solving of undergraduate students in the Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering disciplines by teaching them philosophical and logical techniques of correct reasoning. This Minor is designed also to contribute, on the one hand, to the broadening of these students´ understanding of the conceptual foundations of science in general and of specific natural sciences in particular and, on the other hand, to the students´ understanding of the conceptual foundations of formal disciplines such as Mathematics and Computer Science.
