Synopsis

Symbolic Logic And The Game Of Logic is a book written by Lewis Carroll, the author of the famous children's book ""Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"". This book is a collection of two works on logic, namely ""Symbolic Logic"" and ""The Game of Logic"". In ""Symbolic Logic"", Carroll introduces the reader to the basics of symbolic logic, which is a method of representing logical arguments in a mathematical form using symbols and formulas. He explains the concepts of propositions, syllogisms, and logical operators such as negation, conjunction, and disjunction. The book also includes exercises to test the reader's understanding of the material.In ""The Game of Logic"", Carroll presents a board game that teaches logic in a fun and interactive way. The game involves moving counters around a board based on logical rules, and the objective is to reach a certain goal. The game is designed to teach logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.Overall, Symbolic Logic And The Game Of Logic is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about logic and its applications. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both beginners and more advanced students of logic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

Review

Yes, this is the Lewis Carroll who wrote Alice in Wonderland, and these two works show the same quirky humor. Here you see Carroll the mathematician at his playful best. Don't let the title of the first work mislead you--this isn't about modern symbolic logic but about ways of expressing classical logic with symbols. It's loaded with amusing problems to delight any mathematical puzzler. In the second work he turns logic into a game played with diagrams and colored counters, giving you hundreds of challenging and witty syllogisms to solve. Great mind-stretching fun.

About the Author

Lewis Carroll (1832–98) was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass, are rich repositories of his sparkling gifts for wordplay, logic, and fantasy.
