Produktbeschreibung
Logic is a mainstay of college philosophy, math, and computer science curricula, and it's also useful for pre-law students and anyone pursuing a degree in the sciences, social sciences, or engineering. This book is like an introductory college logic course without boring lectures or grueling tests. It includes explanations of logic concepts such as logical statements and operators, semantic structures, proofs and refutations, propositional and predicate logic, the use of truth tables and Venn diagrams, and more. In addition, the book takes a peek into the fascinating worlds of quantum logic, fuzzy logic, and paradox. Real-world examples help students understand the concepts, while fully worked out proofs and fun logic problems help them apply what they have learned.
Logic concepts are more mainstream than you may realize. There's logic every place you look and in almost everything you do, from deciding which shirt to buy to asking your boss for a raise, and even to watching television, where themes of such shows as CSI and Numbers incorporate a variety of logistical studies. Logic For Dummies explains a vast array of logical concepts and processes in easy-to-understand language that make everything clear to you, whether you're a college student of a student of life. You'll find out about:
_ Formal Logic
_ Syllogisms
_ Constructing proofs and refutations
_ Propositional and predicate logic
_ Modal and fuzzy logic
_ Symbolic logic
_ Deductive and inductive reasoning

Logic For Dummies tracks an introductory logic course at the college level. Concrete, real-world examples help you understand each concept you encounter, while fully worked out proofs and fun logic problems encourage you students to apply what you've learned.
Autorenporträt
Mark Zegarelli is a professional writer with degrees in both English and Math from Rutgers University. He has earned his living for many years writing vast quantities of logic puzzles, a hefty chunk of software documentation, and the occasional book or film review. Along the way, he's also paid a few bills doing housecleaning, decorative painting, and (for ten hours) retail sales. He likes writing best, though.
