Abstract:

A rigorous, yet accessible and entertaining introduction to the field
of logic, this book provides students with a unique insight into logic
as a living field and how it connects to other fields of inquiry
including philosophy, computer science, linguistics, and mathematics.
With no background knowledge needed, students are introduced to a
critical examination of 'classical logic', and the technical issues
and paradoxes that may be encountered. Each chapter includes key
pedagogical features such as marginal notes, definitions, chapter
summaries and practice exercises. Arguments are backed up by authentic
examples of logic within natural languages and everyday life. The
flexible chapter structure allows instructors to tailor their teaching
for either a one-semester or two-semester course, according to their
students' needs and knowledge. Online resources include a companion
website featuring further readings, class handouts, LaTeX resources,
along with an Online Proof Evaluator allowing students to get
real-time feedback.

Written In: English (eng)
