Concise Introduction to Logic

By Patrick J. Hurley

Book Overview

A CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC covers the standard subjects for any logic course in neatly packaged capsules of teaching. Users report that this text is more clearly written than any other text, the style is streamlined, and peculiar quirks and technicalities are avoided. The material is presented in an integrated fashion so that the elements fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, thus increasing student comprehension. Visual aids that reiterate the central points appear throughout the text, key terms are projected in boldface type, hundreds of examples illustrate the main ideas, and more than 2,000 carefully selected exercises, many from real life sources, sharpen student understanding. Even students with deficient learning skills can master the content, and the broad range of topics provides considerable flexibility in course design.

Logic

This is an excellent book for students of logic. It covers all the essential material that would be presented in most college logic courses. I found the text to be very comprehensive and easy to understand.

Great Intro Book

Whether or not you're planning on getting this book for a college or university course, or if you're getting it for personal interest, Hurley makes it easy to understand. The chapters are quick and easy to read, the examples and chapter problems are interesting, up-to-date, and sometimes humorous. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM does not work with Macintosh computers. The book is still, however, a worthy purchase.
