Description

Bridges from Classical to Nonmonotonic Logic by David Makinson provides a clear overview of nonmonotonic logic, making its essential ideas and main approaches accessible to those with basic tools in discrete mathematics and classical propositional logic. This textbook aims to demystify the subject, offering detailed explanations, examples, comments, exercises, and answers. Nonmonotonic logic is concerned with reasoning that goes beyond classical logic's limits, addressing issues of uncertainty and the acquisition of new information. The book takes a unified approach, providing a comprehensive picture of the field and its main approaches. It is written as a textbook, making it an invaluable resource for students and instructors alike. By exploring nonmonotonic logic, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how to reason in situations where classical logic alone is insufficient. With its clear explanations and practical examples, this book is ideal for those looking to expand their knowledge of logical reasoning.
