Introduction

In real life, everything seems to be some kind of relation: professional, institutional, romantic, numerical, international, family relations, … relations, … relations.

How would it be possible to teach all this to a computer system without seriously studying what a relation is, in the formal sense of the term, and how to reason (mathematically) only with relations?

Such is, in brief, the main objective of this course.
