Logic for Dummies

Logic is a mainstay of college philosophy, math, and computer science curricula, and it’s also useful for pre-law students and anyone pursuing a degree in the sciences, social sciences, or engineering. This book is like an introductory college logic course without boring lectures or grueling tests. It includes explanations of logic concepts such as logical statements and operators, semantic structures, proofs and refutations, propositional and predicate logic, the use of truth tables and Venn diagrams, and more. In addition, the book takes a peek into the fascinating worlds of quantum logic, fuzzy logic, and paradox. Real-world examples help students understand the concepts, while fully worked out proofs and fun logic problems help them apply what they have learned.
