Description

Here, the authors strive to change the way logic and discrete math are taught in computer science and mathematics: while many books treat logic simply as another topic of study, this one is unique in its willingness to go one step further. The book traets logic as a basic tool which may be applied in essentially every other area.

Description

This text attempts to change the way logic and discrete mathematics are taught. While many books treat logic simply as another topic of study, this book treats logic as a basic tool to be applied in essentially every other area. The book is organized so that selected chapters can either be studied together or used as a reference. The core of the book consists of textual substitution, equality and assignment, Boolean expressions, propositional calculus, quantification and predicate calculus. The remaining chapters can be selected according to individual course outlines.
