ISBN: 1420849514
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
"My Dad told Me So" is a delightful story about a puppy named Dusty. He thought he was old enough to roam the town alone in search of excitement. "I am! I am! I am!" he said. Still, his dad disagreed and would not let him go off alone. So, one day, Dusty sneaked into town, but soon discovered his dad was right and that he was unprepared for the troubles that he met along the way. He found himself in several terrifying situations. He was attacked by bees, lost his way home, and had to seek the help of other little creatures to get back there. The story is hilarious as well as heart-breaking. Each chapter is designed to entertain, motivate and educate young readers. They will find it hard to put the book down. There is a think and answer section after each chapter. It allows readers to express their viewpoints and can help them better understand the importance of being obedient and kind. It also can improve their reading skills and comprehension levels. A glossary of unfamiliar words used in the story ends the book.

Propositional Logics 3rd edition
Author: Richard L Epstein
Publisher: Advanced Reasoning Forum
ISBN: 0983452172
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
This book presents the history, philosophy, and mathematics of the major systems of propositional logic. Classical logic, modal logics, many-valued logics, intuitionism, paraconsistent logics, and dependent implication are examined in separate chapters. Each begins with a motivation in the originators' own terms, followed by the standard formal semantics, syntax, and completeness theorem. The chapters on the various logics are largely self-contained so that the book can be used as a reference. An appendix summarizes the formal semantics and axiomatizations of the logics. The view that unifies the exposition is that propositional logics comprise a spectrum: as the aspect of propositions under consideration varies, the logic varies. Each logic is shown to fall naturally within a general framework for semantics. A theory of translations between logics is presented that allows for further comparisons, and necessary conditions are given for a translation to preserve meaning. For this third edition the material has been re-organized to make the text easier to study, and a new section on paraconsistent logics with simple semantics has been added which challenges standard views on the nature of consequence relations. The text includes worked examples and hundreds of exercises, from routine to open problems, making the book with its clear and careful exposition ideal for courses or individual study.

Predicate Logic
Author: Richard L Epstein
Publisher: Advanced Reasoning Forum
ISBN: 0983452199
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
The forms and scope of logic rest on assumptions of how language and reasoning connect to experience. In this volume an analysis of meaning and truth provides a foundation for studying modern propositional and predicate logics. Chapters on propositional logic, parsing propositions, and meaning, truth, and reference give a basis for criteria that can be used to judge formalizations of ordinary language arguments. Over 120 worked examples of formalizations of propositions and arguments illustrate the scope and limitations of modern logic, as analyzed in chapters on identity, quantifiers, descriptive names, functions, and second-order logic. The chapter on second-order logic illustrates how different conceptions of predicates and propositions do not lead to a common basis for quantification over predicates, as they do for quantification over things. Notable for its clarity of presentation, and supplemented by many exercises, this volume is suitable for philosophers, linguists, mathematicians, and computer scientists who wish to better understand the tools they use in formalizing reasoning.
