Synopsis

 

This guidebook is for college instructors who teach a course in Introduction to Logic at a teachers college or provide a workshop in this subject for in-service mathematics teachers. It can also be used by high school mathematics teachers for teaching students who are capable and interested in Logic.

Learning is based on reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and discussing quotes from that book as a trigger for developing basic notions in Logic. This guidebook includes the student's worksheets with exemplary solutions, the background in elementary logic, and pedagogical comments. There is a student's workbook that accompanies this guidebook which includes the student's worksheets without solutions.

Ordinary textbooks for such a course are purely mathematical in their nature, and students usually find the course difficult, boring and very technical. Our approach is likely to motivate the students through reading the classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll who was not only one of the best storytellers but also a logician.
