Items related to Modern Logic: A Text in Elementary Symbolic Logic
Synopsis
This undergraduate text aims to fill the need for a structured introduction to symbolic logic. The natural deduction system used by the author has been designed to help students grasp the concepts, and the material includes graded exercises at the end of each section, selected answers to which are provided at the back of the book. The book's emphasis is on giving the student a thorough understanding of the concepts rather than just a facility with formal procedures.

Review
"Looks like an attractive text, pitched at an appropriate level and with good exercises. I have adopted it."--A.M. Ungar, SUNY at Albany
"An excellent introduction to elementary logic. Rigorous yet accessible to the superior undergraduate student. The sections on extensions to classical logic are especially appreciated."--Jan A. Smucker, Hanover College
"Of very real value, especially the final chapter on intuitionism and fuzzy logic--long overdue in introductory texts."--Patrick Grim, State University of New York at Stony Brook
