Study Notes

Engineering Economics

  • Engineering economics, formerly known as engineering economy, focuses on applying economic principles to analyze engineering decisions.
  • This discipline primarily involves microeconomics, examining how individuals and firms allocate limited resources.
  • The decision-making process in engineering economics is emphasized, taking into account its environmental and contextual factors.
  • It integrates economic theory with practical engineering approaches, while simplifying microeconomic concepts like price determination and competition.
  • Closely related fields include statistics, mathematics, and cost accounting, aiding the efficiency of economic analysis in engineering contexts.

Philosophy of Logic

  • The philosophy of logic investigates the scope and nature of logic, addressing underlying assumptions within logical theories.
  • It explores how logic is defined and the relationships among various logical systems.
  • Central to this field is the study of fundamental concepts in logic and their interrelation with other disciplines.
  • Philosophical logic specifically examines the application of logic to philosophical problems, such as modal logic, enhancing understanding of philosophical questions.
  • Metalogic is a closely related area, focusing on the properties and foundations of logical systems.
