What makes Logic Primer a uniquely valuable text is not that it contains everything you need for an introductory logic course (which, of course, it does), but that it contains nothing more. While providing students with a clear and comprehensive yet streamlined presentation of first-order logic, it allows instructors the freedom to tailor the structure and pace of the course to fit their own pedagogical goals. Moreover, the natural deduction system is elegant, intuitive, and free of various unnecessary procedures that, though common in other systmes, tend to make derivations difficult for students to grasp.―Amy Kind, Department of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College
Product Description
Logic Primer presents a rigorous introduction to natural deduction systems of sentential and first-order logic.
Logic Primer presents a rigorous introduction to natural deduction systems of sentential and first-order logic. The text is designed to foster the student-instructor relationship. The key concepts are laid out in concise definitions and comments, with the expectation that the instructor will elaborate upon them. New to the second edition is the addition of material on the logic of identity in chapters 3 and 4. An innovative interactive Web site, consisting of a “Logic Daemon” and a “Quizmaster,” encourages students to formulate their own proofs and links them to appropriate explanations in the book.
