Note: Much work in mathematical logic goes on in Mathematics and Computer Science departments. Students primarily interested in Mathematical Logic would do well to explore those programs also, as well as specialized interdisciplinary programs like Berkeley's Program in Logic & Methodology of Science or Amsterdam's Institute for Logic, Language & Computation.

Evaluators: Aldo Antonelli, J.C. Beall, Graeme Forbes, Warren Goldfarb, Anil Gupta, Volker Halbach, John Kearns, Michael Kremer, Frederick Kroon, Penelope Maddy, Vann McGee, Calvin Normore, Peter Pagin, Graham Priest, Greg Restall, Gabriel Uzquiano.

Remember: evaluators were not permitted to evaluate either their own department or the department from which they received their highest degree (PhD, DPhil, sometimes the BPhil).
