More Description | Designed to be a more accessible for courses in introductory logic, elementary symbolic logic, and critical thinking. This comprehensive introduction to logic provides a system of natural deduction, as well as an appendix that introduces the truth tree technique for propositional and predicate logic. Topic coverage includes four chapters devoted to induction: on analogies, on Mill's Methods, on probability and statistical reasoning, and on the scientific method. The text also covers deduction (syllogisms and symbolic logic), and informal fallacies. | | |
