Elementary Logic Summary

Elementary Logic: For Software Development by Robert Lover

The ability to reason correctly is critical to most aspects of computer science and to software development in particular. This book teaches readers how to better reason about software development, to communicate reasoning, to distinguish between good and bad reasoning, and to read professional literature that presumes knowledge of elementary logic. The reader's knowledge and understanding can be assessed through numerous examples and exercises. This book provides a reader-friendly foundation to logic and offers valuable insight into the topic, thereby serving as a helpful reference for practitioners, as well as students studying software development.

Elementary Logic Reviews

From the reviews:

Logic deserves to be more widely taught on its merits, not just as a byproduct of special needs. This book does exactly that. The author aims the book at software developers and computer science students, but it could very well be used in other settings, as well. ... used by teachers and instructors in a variety of settings, according to personal interest or departmental needs. ... The book is well organized and well written. ... I liked the book and I recommend it. (Edgar R. Chavez, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)
