Beginning with a review of formal languages and their syntax and
semantics, Logic, Proof and Computation conducts a computer
assisted course in formal reasoning and the relevance of logic to
mathematical proof, information processing and philosophy. Topics
covered include formal grammars, semantics of formal languages,
sequent systems, truth-tables, propositional and first order logic,
identity, proof heuristics, regimentation, set theory, databases,
automated deduction, proof by induction, Turing machines,
undecidability and a computer illustration of the reasoning
underpinning Godel's incompleteness proof. LPC is designed as a
multidisciplinary reader for students in computing, philosophy and
mathematics.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Informed by co-author Debby Hutchins' extensive teaching experience
and research on logic education, The Art of Reasoning is the most
effective text for teaching logic today. The Fifth Edition features
a new chapter on cognitive biases, along with a new learning
framework and newly designed problem sets that encourage
incremental learning. Supporting resources are enhanced by
InQuizitive, an award-winning adaptive learning tool that
facilitates mastery of core concepts.
Logic and philosophy have many interfaces, some dating back to
Antiquity, some developed only recently. These two companion
volumes chart the variety and liveliness of modern logic at this
interface, opening windows to key topics for researchers in other
disciplines and other cultural traditions, including India and
China. The articles presented here were written by a wide spectrum
of international experts, showing the field also as a living
community of junior and senior scholars across different university
departments. The articles in Volume 2 give extensive coverage of
contacts with Philosophy, as well as several congenial other
disciplines, from argumentation theory to cognitive science, game
theory, and physics.
