A First Course in LogicA First Course in Logic is an introduction to first-order logic suitable for first and second year mathematicians and computer scientists. There are three components to this course: propositional logic; Boolean algebras; and predicate/first-order, logic. Logic is the basis of proofs in mathematics ‘ how do we know what we say is true’ ‘ and also of computer science ‘ how do I know this program will do what I think it will’ Surprisingly little mathematics is needed to learn and understand logic (this course doesn’t involve any calculus). The real mathematical prerequisite is an ability to manipulate symbols: in other words, basic algebra. Anyone who can write programs should have this ability.ISBN: 9780815386650, 0815386656
