The course will cover the essentials of descriptive set theory beginning with the basic elements of the theory and finishing with topics of current interest to researchers in the field. In particular, special attention will be be focussed on material relevant to the study of Borel relations and their classification.

The two week introductory course will cover some of the prerequisite material. In order to understand effective descriptive set theory some background in recursion theory is necessary.
