Originally published in 1965. This is a textbook of modern
deductive logic, designed for beginners but leading further into
the heart of the subject than most other books of the kind. The
fields covered are the Propositional Calculus, the more elementary
parts of the Predicate Calculus, and Syllogistic Logic treated from
a modern point of view. In each of the systems discussed the main
emphases are on Decision Procedures and Axiomatisation, and the
material is presented with as much formal rigour as is compatible
with clarity of exposition. The techniques used are not only
described but given a theoretical justification. Proofs of
Consistency, Completeness and Independence are set out in detail.
The fundamental characteristics of the various systems studies, and
their relations to each other are established by meta-logical
proofs, which are used freely in all sections of the book.
Exercises are appended to most of the chapters, and answers are
provided.
