Description
“This remains a superb basic primer in symbolic logic. Great clarity on basic concepts.” — Gary Jason, California State University, Fullerton
“A clear, well-written book that admirably lives up to its title!” —Irving M. Copi, University of Hawaii at Manoa
“An excellent text. Very clearly written with useful exercises.” —G. A. Spangler, California State University, Long Beach
“I will be using the text. It is laid out well, covering all of the standard topics while allowing for flexibility in teaching styles. Furthermore, a major consideration—indeed, the deciding factor—was its reasonable price compared to others.” —James Stump, Bethel College
“One of the best books available on deductive inferences. The examples and exercises are well developed, and the additional material provided throughout the text (especially relevant to philosophical problems and aspects of mathematics) is excellent.” —Barry Padgett, University of Louisville
“Elementary Symbolic Logic is a clear, straightforward presentation that does not ‘write down’ to students. It is a solid introductory text suitable for students in any disciplinary program.” —William W. Daniel, Winthrop University
“Absolutely first-rate in every respect.” —Gary Owens, Towson State University
