Over a million students have learned to be more discerning at constructing and evaluating arguments with the help of Hurley's A CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC. The text's clear, student-friendly and thorough presentation has made it the most widely used logic text in North America. Studying logic offers multiple benefits. It helps you think through problems in an organized and systematic way. It instills patterns of reasoning that enable you to persuade others as to the correctness of your convictions, and it teaches you how to use language clearly and precisely. Doing well in logic improves your skills in ways that will help in your other courses, everyday life and future career. Additionally, for the 14th edition, the WebAssign online platform provides interactive exercises, online homework solutions, multimedia tutorials, help videos and the complete text in an eBook format.
