Their clear and coherent style of writing ensures that this work may be used by students in a wide range of ages and abilities.. This book counters that neglect with a rigorous introduction that is simple enough in presentation and context to permit relatively easy comprehension. In modern mathematics, both the theory of proof and the derivation of theorems from axioms bear an unquestioned importance. The necessary skills behind these methods, however, are frequently underdeveloped. It comprises the sentential theory of inference, inference with universal quantifiers, and applications of the theory of inference developed to the elementary theory of commutative groups. Throughout the book, the auth

"The best book for self teaching logic" according to Amazon Customer. I own Symbolic Logic by Virginia Klenk, The Laws of Thought by George Boole, Logic Sets and Recursion by Causey and several discrete math texts including Rosens. Each one of them offers you some insight into logic; however, none of them offer the facility to learn logic like this book does. It is even superior as a first text to Suppes other Introduction to Logic which I also own. I highly recommend it to everyone. I wish I w. Very good intro to mathematical logic Very good intro to mathematical logic. Although, the addition proof chapters near the end feel a bit contrived to me, and are limited in scope.. For preparing a basic class Full of excercises is a good refreshing for a person who has not be exposed for a while to logic. Nevertheless for a 1st time reader might be a bit confusing on the organization of the subjects.
