About this title

Synopsis:

This introductory text on the essentials of symbolic logic, criticizes the idea that formal training is not a precondition of the ability to reason effectively.

Review:

"This is an excellent introduction to natural deduction systems—clear and very readable. It introduces rules gently and in a way that students will appreciate. A very good text." - Ed Mares, Victoria University, New Zealand

"Essentials of Symbolic Logic is particularly good at encouraging students to develop strategies for producing derivations in sentence and predicate logic, without ever suggesting that this is an easy task, so that students who persevere can end their courses with a genuine sense of real achievement. I have also liked the text because it is totally reliable—and my students have liked and respected it too." - Ian Tipton, University of Wales-Swansea
