This book introduces the notions and methods of formal logic from a computer science standpoint, covering propositional logic, predicate logic, and foundations of logic programming. It presents applications and themes of computer science research such as resolution, automated deduction, and logic programming in a rigorous but readable way. The style and scope of the work, rounded out bythe inclusion of exercises, make this an excellent textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in logic for computer scientists. ‘This is a short introductory book on the topic of propositional and first-order logic, with a bias towards computer scientists.. Schöning..gives us a short book (less than 170 pages) with a tight storyline…. I found this a nicely written book with many examples and exercises (126 of them). This book seems suitable for a short course,a seminar series, or part of a larger course on Prolog and logic programming,probably at the advanced undergraduate level.’ SIGACT News A more affordable softcover edition of a classic text. Gives a good introduction to logic for those with a computer science concentration. Replete with illustrative examples and exercises. Useful as a companion text to an undergraduate computer scienceclass; may be used as a handbook for an introductory course in artificial intelligence INDICE: Introduction. Propositional Logic. Predicate Logic. Logic Programming. Bibliography. Table of Notations. Index.
