Review
"[Howson's] explanations are admirably clear, and directed to points that students find difficult ... [B]ooks in the middle ground, where one wants to cover non-trivial mathematical results in classical logic, but at a level that does not entirely alienate non-mathematics students, are fairly hard to find ... Howson's book ... fills this slot admirably." -Graham Priest, University of Queensland "Howson takes his readers on a fascinating tour of basic symbolic logic propelled with rigor and incisiveness ...[T]his book is a very useful volume ... [T]he author's enthusiasm for his subject matter shines through." -"Teaching Philosophy
Synopsis
Logic with Trees is a new and original introduction to modern formal logic. Preferring explanation and argument to intimidatingly rigorous development, Colin Howson presents the formal material in a clear and informal style that both beginners and those with some knowledge of formal methods will appreciate. Examples and exercises guide readers through the book, and answers to selected exercises at the end allow them to monitor their own progress. Howson covers all the key methods in both truth-functional and full first order logic using the truth-tree, or semantic tableau, approach throughout. In addition, he discusses alternative deductive systems, transfinite numbers and the famous theorems of Godel and Church, and he concludes with an analysis of the liar paradox and of the weaknesses of the truth-functional account of conditionals. Logic with Trees will be particularly useful for those who feel wary of formal methods, as it shows how simple even quite sophisticated formal reasoning can be. It offers an indispensable introduction to logic for students of philosophy, mathematics and computer science.
