The course for which these notes are designed is intended for undergraduate
students who have some programming experience and may even have written
a few programs in Prolog. They are not assumed to have had any formal
course in either propositional or predicate logic.
At the end of the course, the students should have enough familiarity with
Prolog to be able to pursue any undergraduate course which makes use of
Prolog.
This is a rather ambitious undertaking for a course of only twelve lectures
so the lectures are supplemented with exercises and small practical projects
wherever possible.
The Prolog implementation used is SICStus Prolog which is closely modelled
on Quintus Prolog (SICS is the Swedish Institute of Computer Science).
The reference manual should also be available for consultation [SICStus, 1988].
