By the way, Both Session 1 and 2 at Siena '06 kicked Logic's @$$!!!
Mathmatical Logic is a good intro math course and for many of the people that take this class, their very first time ever to the wonderful world of CTY. Math Logic covers a lot of ground in three weeks. Alot of First time CTY-ers take it because the only preresquite is Algebra I.
