Download or read book Symbolic Logic and Other Forms of Deductive Reasoning written by Richard L. Trammell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text does not presuppose any technical background in math or logic. The first seven chapters cover all the basic components of a first course in symbolic logic, including truth tables, rules for devising formal proofs of validity, multiple quantifiers, properties of relations, enthymemes, and identity. (One exception is that truth trees are not discussed.) The five operator symbols used are: (.) and, (v) or, ( ) not, and also if-then, represented by the sideways U and material equivalence represented by the triple line. There are also four chapters which can be studied without symbolic logic background. Chapter 8 is a study of 7 immediate inferences in Aristotelian logic using A, E, I, O type statements with a detailed proof concerning what existential assumptions are involved. Chapter 9 is a study of classic Boolean syllogism using Venn diagrams to show the validity or invalidity of syllogisms. Chapter 10 is a study of the type of probability problems that are deductive (example: having 2 aces in 5 cards drawn from a randomized deck of cards). Chapter 11 is a study of the types of problems that are often found on standardized tests where certain data are given, and then multiple-choice questions are given where the single correct answer is determined by the data. In the symbolic logic chapters, it is shown many times how putting English statements into symbolic notation reveals the complexity (and sometimes ambiguity) of natural language. Many examples are given of the usage of logic in everyday life, with statements to translate taken from musicals, legal documents, federal tax instructions, etc. Several sections involve arguments given in English, which must be translated into symbolic notation before proof of validity is given. Chapter 7 ends with a careful presentation of Richard's Paradox, challenging those who dismiss the problem because it is not strictly mathematical. The conclusion of this chapter is the most controversial part of the text. Richard's paradox is used to construct a valid symbolic logic proof that Cantor's procedure does not prove there are nondenumerable sets, with a challenge to the reader to identify and prove which premise of the argument is false. There are several uncommon features of the text. For example, there is a section where it is shown how the rules of logic are used in solving Sudoku puzzles. Another section challenges students to devise arguments (premises and conclusion) that can be solved in a certain number of steps (say 3) only by using a certain 3 rules, one time each (for example, Modus Ponens, Simplification, and Conjunction). In proofs of invalidity, if there are 10 simple statements (for example), there are 1024 possible combinations of truth values that the 10 statements can have. But the premises and conclusions are set up so that only 1 of these combinations will make all the premises true and the conclusion false - and this 1 way can be found by forced truth-value assignments, with no need to take options. Another unusual section of the text defines the five operator symbols as relations (for example, Cxy = x conjuncted with y is true), and then statements about the operators are given to determine whether the statements are true or false. To aid in deciding what sections to cover in a given course or time frame, certain sections are labeled "optional" as an indication that understanding these sections is not presupposed by later sections in the text. Although there are a ton of problems with answers in the text, any teacher using this text for a course can receive free of charge an answer book giving answers to all the problems not answered in the text, plus a few cases of additional problems not given in the text, also with answers.

Book Synopsis Introducing Symbolic Logic by : Robert M. Martin
Download or read book Introducing Symbolic Logic written by Robert M. Martin and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2004-05-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible, SHORT introduction to symbolic logic includes coverage of sentential and predicate logic, translations, truth tables, and derivations. The author’s engaging style makes this the most informal of introductions to formal logic. Topics are explained in a conversational, easy-to-understand way for readers not familiar with mathematics or formal systems, and the author provides patient, reader-friendly explanations—even with the occasional bit of humour. The first half of the book deals with all the basic elements of Sentential Logic: the five truth-functional connectives, formation rules and translation into this language, truth-tables for validity, logical truth/falsity, equivalency, consistency and derivations. The second half deals with Quantifier Logic: the two quantifiers, formation rules and translation, demonstrating certain logical characteristics by “Finding an Interpretation” and derivations. There are plenty of exercises scattered throughout, more than in many texts, arranged in order of increasing difficulty and including separate answer keys.
Book Synopsis God The Dimensional Revelation by : Allyn Richert
Download or read book God The Dimensional Revelation written by Allyn Richert and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What questions do you have about Your Life, Your Being, Your Soul, and Your Conscious Awareness? GOD--The Dimensional Revelation is a book revealing reality. Broadly stated, reality is defined as "all that exists." The study of reality is called "metaphysics." Metaphysics is the primary field of philosophy. Metaphysics is divided into two major fields of study. These are cosmology and ontology. GOD--The Dimensional Revelation reveals cosmological facts about our big bang. Our research reconciles relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Ontologically, This Teaching Reveals a clear theology about GOD and Your Relationship with GOD. Learn how to use the scientific method to prove that the Reality You and I Experience is a partial Fusion of our physical universe with our separate Spiritual Universe. This Teaching proves this in the context of 10 Dimensions of Reality, some of which are original to this book. These 10 Dimensions are clearly explained and verified. Dimensional Reasoning is offered as a tool anyone can use to answer all the great questions of Existence. The Source of Being is clearly identified, as well as the Destination of Individual Being. Reading and Participating in the Knowledge Shared in this book will increase your Confidence, Personal Power, and help You Grow Spiritually.

Book Synopsis The Logic of Our Language by : Rodger L. Jackson
Download or read book The Logic of Our Language written by Rodger L. Jackson and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Logic of Our Language teaches the practical and everyday application of formal logic. Rather than overwhelming the reader with abstract theory, Jackson and McLeod show how the skills developed through the practice of logic can help us to better understand our own language and reasoning processes. The authors’ goal is to draw attention to the patterns and logical structures inherent in our spoken and written language by teaching the reader how to translate English sentences into formal symbols. Other logical tools, including truth tables, truth trees, and natural deduction, are then introduced as techniques for examining the properties of symbolized sentences and assessing the validity of arguments. A substantial number of practice questions are offered both within the book itself and as interactive activities on a companion website.
Download or read book Logic with Trees written by Colin Howson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic With Trees is a new and original introduction to modern formal logic. Unlike most texts, it also contains discussions on more philosophical issues such as truth, conditionals and modal logic. It presents the formal material with clarity, preferring informal explanations and arguments to intimidatingly rigorous development. Worked examples and excercises enable the readers to check their progress. Logic With Trees equips students with * a complete and clear account of the truth-tree system for first order logic * the importance of logic and its relevance to many different disciplines * the skills to grasp sophisticated formal reasoning techniques necessary to explore complex metalogic * the ability to contest claims that `ordinary' reasoning is well represented by formal first order logic The issues covered include a thorough discussion of truth-functional and full first order logic, using the truth-tree or semantic tableau approach. Completeness and Soundness proofs are given for both truth-functional and first order trees. Much use is made of induction, which is presented in a clear and consistent manner. There is also discussion of alternative deductive systems, an introduction to transfinite numbers and categoricity, the Lowenhein-Skolem theories and the celebrated findings of Godel and Church. The book concludes with an account of Kripke's attempted solution of the liar paradox and a discussion of the weakness of truth-functional account of conditionals. Particularly useful to those who favour critical accounts of formal reasoning, it will be of interest to students of philosophy at first level and beyond and also students of mathematics and computer science.

Book Synopsis Deductive Logic by : David S. Clarke
Download or read book Deductive Logic written by David S. Clarke and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1998 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deductive Logic is designed as an intermediate-level text directed at upper-division students from philosophy and the humanities. Its focus is exclusively on deductive logic, avoiding altogether topics such as informal reasoning and scientific method normally included in introductory logic courses. Its exposition of logical topics is informal, with emphasis on explaining the basic concepts and procedures of modern symbolic logic in the simplest and most intuitive manner possible rather than on developing a rigorous formal system and providing proofs of its properties. The fact that the text presupposes a course offered to philosophy students and serves to introduce them to logic as the "language of philosophy" has strongly influenced the selection of topics. The topics here are controversial, and the problems not easily resolved, but this text strives to relate the formal logical structures introduced to issues of philosophic interest.
Download or read book Principles of Deductive Logic written by and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear focus on its application of formal logic to ordinary English is the most distinctive feature of this textbook for the introductory course in deductive logic. Great care is taken with the appropriate translation into logical languages of ordinary English sentences. Evaluation of these translations promotes a more effective use of ordinary language. The Principles of Deductive Logic presents symbolic logic in a fuller and more leisurely fashion than other introductory textbooks. Early chapters cover informal material, including definition and informal fallacies. The remainder of the text is devoted to the treatment of four distinct artificial languages. The Categorical language is the language of syllogistic logic. The Extended Categorical language enriches this first language with the symbolic connectives for conjunction and negation. The Propositional Connective language and the First-Order language (with identity) are the two basic languages of modern logic. Each language is accompanied by a deductive system, and is used as an instrument for exploring ordinary language, including ordinary arguments The book contains a large number of exercises whose answers are supplied in the back of the book, and many more that can be assigned as homework. A solution's manual is available to instructors upon their request. The request must be written on college or university letterhead.

Download or read book Symbolic Logic written by John Venn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LOGIC is a study that has always been preserved intact from those contemptuous epithets which have been so freely lavished on another, and not quite alien, branch of speculative inquiry. There are many writers at the present day who appear to denote by the term "metaphysics" nothing more than confused reasoning on any abstruse subject; and when they wish to indicate, with as much politeness as possible, that an opponent is vague in his ideas, they say that he is in "the metaphysical stage." But logic meets with respectful treatment at all hands. It is true that "hard logic" is sometimes deprecated, particularly in topics that interest the feelings much; but even then it is deprecated as a powerful enemy, whom it is expedient to conciliate rather than to thrust aside. No doubt this is due to the fact that, however much the utility or fruitfulness of logical investigations may be questioned, their truth up to a certain point is entirely unassailable. If we know positively that all the Ojibbewaya are red-skinned, and if our route of travel takes us through a village inhabited solely by Ojibbeways, we cannot err in our conclusion that the men we shall see in that village will be red-skinned. That is a syllogism in Barbara, and the wit of man has never been able to detect a flaw in it, and never will. And, though we may not care very much to think about syllogisms in Barbara in the abstract, we certainly should be a little ashamed to be convicted of error by such a syllogism in the concrete; as, for instance, if we were to let it be known that we expected to find all the women in the aforesaid village with white faces. To furnish general models of all consistent reasoning, whereby errors such as that just indicated may be avoided, has been the aim of ordinary logic. Such models were first furnished by Aristotle; were further enlarged by the Schoolmen; have been repeated, commented on, and set in new lights by many logicians in every succeeding age, down to Hamilton and Mansel. But, despite the ability, care, and accuracy of the inquirers who have made this subject their study, despite the unassailableness of the syllogistic formula? in themselves, the practical utility of logic has always been a point open to question. The forms of reasoning as exhibited in the different kinds of syllogism are so simple and obvious that no one can feel the excitement of a new discovery in learning them; and, when real argumentative difficulties are met, it is almost always found that uncertainty as to the premises has much more to do with the difficulty than any hidden flaw in the sequence of ideas. Or, even if there is a real argumentative flaw, native common sense generally brings it to light much sooner than the application of any mood and figure of the Syllogism. Not many of us have met with such an instance of logic in practical life as that of the Oxford first-classman, who, on leaving a church where he had been listening with visible impatience to the preacher, exclaimed, "The rascal! he made a fallacy in Baroko." --The Saturday Review, Vol. 53.
