About this title

Review

'This is an excellent textbook on logic and formal methods which is very suitable for computer science students... discusses the whole range from logic to applications: propositional and predicate logic, temporal logic and more generally model logic, program verification, model checking, and symbolic model checking using binary decision diagrams ... As any good textbook, this book is not only to be recommended for students but for anyone who is interested in applications of logic in computer science.' Theory and Practice of Logic Programming

'... an unusual, inspiring and remarkable book ... one can find in it all the material which is suitable for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in computer science and electrical engineering who will profit by using it in their professional activities in the near future.' Marat M. Arslanov, Zentralblatt MATH

Book Description

This is a sound introduction to logic and the logical frameworks used in modelling, specifying and verifying computer systems. It provides a simple and clear presentation of a carefully chosen core of essential terminology: further technicalities are introduced only where they are required by the applications. Numerous examples are given, and web support is available from http:www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/lics.
