This course introduces the fundamentals of model checking techniques based on using SAT (Propositional Satisfiability) solving and SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solving. You will learn basic concepts of propositional SAT solving, including conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL), proof methods, and theory-specific solvers, and concepts of encoding a model checking problem as a SAT solving problem. Topics include introduction to modern propositional SAT solving techniques, encoding Boolean circuits to Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF), bounded and unbounded model checking, and basic introduction to SMT solving. This course is Ideal for those seeking to understand SAT-based model checking and apply it in practical scenarios.

This module introduces basic concepts and core techniques and procedures within modern propositional satisfiability solving, including resolution, Conflict-Driven Clause Learning (CDCL), Fast Deduction, and some features of SAT useful for problem solving. By examining these strategies, students will gain a foundational understanding of how modern SAT solvers analyze, deduce, and verify propositional formulae. Each lesson builds on practical examples to demonstrate how these methods contribute to modern SAT solver efficiency, reliability, and scalability.

This module introduces the fundamental concepts and techniques of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), an extension of satisfiability solving to more expressive logical domains such as Integer Difference Logic (IDL) and Equality with Uninterpreted Functions (EUF). It also covers methods for combining different theories, including the Nelson-Oppen procedure used in SMT solving. The lessons emphasize how SMT solvers handle diverse theories to efficiently solve complex logical and mathematical problems.

Foire Aux Questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
