Modern Logic Summary

Modern Logic: A Text in Elementary Symbolic Logic by Graeme Forbes (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Tulane University)

Modern Logic is a text designed for a first course in symbolic logic for students in philosophy, mathematics, computer science, or linguistics. The book covers classical sentential logic, monadic predicate logic, and full first-order logic with identity, in three separate sections. Modern Logic's natural deduction system will be easy for students to understand, and the material is carefully structured, with graded exercises at the end of each section, selected answers to which are provided at the back of the book. The book's emphasis throughout is to give the student a thorough understanding of the concepts rather than just a facility with formal procedures.

Modern Logic Reviews

Looks like an attractive text, pitched at an appropriate level and with good exercises. I have adopted it.--A.M. Ungar, SUNY at Albany An excellent introduction to elementary logic. Rigorous yet accessible to the superior undergraduate student. The sections on extensions to classical logic are especially appreciated.--Jan A. Smucker, Hanover College Of very real value, especially the final chapter on intuitionism and fuzzy logic--long overdue in introductory texts.--Patrick Grim, State University of New York at Stony Brook
