Logica as Algebra, Paperback / softback Book

Logica as Algebra Paperback / softback

Part of the Dolciani Mathematical Expositions series

Paperback / softback

Description

Here is an introduction to modern logic that differs from others by treating logic from an algebraic perspective.

What this means is that notions and results from logic become much easier to understand when seen from a familiar standpoint of algebra.

The presentation, written in the engaging and provocative style that is the hallmark of Paul Halmos, from whose course the book is taken, is aimed at a broad audience, students, teachers and amateurs in mathematics, philosophy, computer science, linguistics and engineering; they all have to get to grips with logic at some stage.

All that is needed to understand the book is some basic acquaintance with algebra.
