Description
This comprehensive introduction to logic covers classical and philosophical logic, mathematics, language, and computer science. Harrie de Swart's book provides an in-depth exploration of topics such as propositional and predicate logic, modal logic, intuitionistic logic, and applications in Prolog, relational databases, and social choice theory.
Throughout the text, the author offers a historical perspective on the development of logic, tracing its roots from Stoic and Aristotelian logic to modern developments. The book concludes each chapter with answers to exercises, making it an ideal resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of logical concepts.
