For more than twenty years, introductory logic students have relied on this text to provide clear lessons as well as practical applications of the discipline. Robert Baum emphasizes formal logic and utilizes such elements of popular culture as cartoons and advertisements to illustratetechnical concepts. Logic, 4/e addresses all the basic concepts, including informal analysis of statements, arguments, Aristotelian logic, propositional logic, quantificational logic, enumerative induction, the scientific method, probability, informal fallacies, definitions, and applied logic. Aswith previous editions, Logic, 4/e is extremely flexible--most of the chapters can be included or excluded from a particular course depending on the goals of the course and the time available. This fourth edition features hundreds of additional exercises throughout.

To substantiate his claim that mathematical probability is no good , or at best limited , in the context of legal reasoning , Cohen brings forward some hard cases , one of which he dubs the gatecrasher paradox of legal reasoning .
This text/CD-ROM package introduces the central concepts of logic with extensive use of examples and exercises. Significant improvements to this eighth edition include rewritten material on the Boolean- Aristotelian distinction, and changes in the presentation of natural deduction. Basic concepts, language, informal fallacies, and categorical propositions and syllogisms are covered, and propositional logic, predicate logic, and induction are explored. The CD-ROM contains animations, audio instruction, and practice exercises. The author is affiliated with the University of San Diego. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

These two volumes collect papers presented at the first joint meeting of the two principal logic programming conferences, held in August of 1988. The more than fifty contributions cover all aspects of the field, including applications (particularly those that exploit the unique character of logic programming), the role of logic programming in artificial intelligence, deductive databases, relations to other computational paradigms, language issues, methodology, implementations on sequential and parallel architectures, and theory.Logic Programming is included in the Logic Programming series Research Reports and Notes, edited by Ehud Shapiro.
