Produktbeschreibung
This book teaches readers how to better reason about software development. It teaches how to communicate reasoning, to distinguish between good and bad reasoning, and to read professional literature that presumes knowledge of elementary logic.
The ability to reason correctly is critical to most aspects of computer science and to software development in particular. Since logic is the discipline concerned with the general rules and criteria of correct reasoning anyone involved with computer science and software development will benefit from studying logic and its applications to computing.

Features: Covers elementary logic and its application to most stages of software development, discusses the application of logic to the English language, as software development begins usually with problems described by end users in ordinary English, emphasizes truth functional logic as well as quantificational logic, includes various examples and exercises to enable independent self-study.

This book provides a reader friendly foundation and offers valuable insight into the topic, serving as a helpful reference for practitioners and advanced students involved with software development.
Rezensionen
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)
