This textbook/software package covers first-order language in a method appropriate for first and second courses in logic. The unique on-line grading services instantly grades solutions to hundred of computer exercises. It is specially devised to be used by philosophy instructors in a way that is useful to undergraduates of philosophy, computer science, mathematics, and linguistics. The book is a completely rewritten and much improved version of The Language of First-order Logic. Introductory material is presented in a more systematic and accessible fashion. Advanced chapters include proofs of soundness and completeness for propositional and predicate logic, as well as an accessible sketch of Godel's first incompleteness theorem. The book is appropriate for a wide range of courses, from first logic courses for undergraduates (philosophy, mathematics, and computer science) to a first graduate logic course. The package includes four pieces of software: Tarski's World 5.0, a new version of the popular program that teaches the basic first-order language and its semantics; Fitch, a natural deduction proof environment for giving and checking first-order proofs; Boole, a program that facilitates the construction and checking of truth tables and related notions (tautology, tautological consequence, etc.); Submit, a program that allows students to submit exercises done with the above programs to the Grade Grinder, the automatic grading service. Grade reports are returned to the student and, if requested, to the student's instructor, eliminating the need for tedious checking of homework. All programs are available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems. Instructors do not need to use the programs themselves in order to be able to take advantage of their pedagogical value. More about the software can be found at lpl.stanford.edu. The price of a new text/software package includes one Registration ID, which must be used each time work is submitted to the grading service. Once activated, the Registration ID is not transferable. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The focus on other non-logical features, like conversational implicature and the like, is certainly nice for teaching a logic course aimed at linguists and a general audience, rather than just philosophers and mathematicians. And it helps motivate the seemingly-odd truth tables for disjunction and implication. But one of my students pointed out to me that their argument for the status of disjunction as inclusive or was conceptually weak - I think it can be shored up, but not the way they did it, and not as quickly either. It's nice to have those topics available, but you should be careful about assigning them (or reading them, if you're using this book for self-study).
Of course, despite its flaws, this is certainly one of the best introductory logic texts around. For more mathematically-versed audiences I recommend Enderton, or Hodges' "Shorter Model Theory" for people with abstract algebra training. I'll have to look at Boolos, Burgess, and Jeffrey to see how that compares. (
