Synopsis

An outline of the material covered in courses on Formal and Informal Logic. The outline includes chapters on mathematical approaches to logic (propositional calculus, truth tables, venn diagrams) as well as on fallacies, deduction and induction, probability, and other major topics. Logic is traditionally taught by means of problem solving exercises, so the subject is well suited to a Schaum's Outline approach.
