Logic for Computer Scientists (Modern Birkhäuser Classics)

Logic for Computer Scientists (Modern Birkhäuser Classics)

This book introduces the notions and methods of formal logic from a computer science standpoint, covering propositional logic, predicate logic, and foundations of logic programming. It presents applications and themes of computer science research such as resolution, automated deduction, and logic programming in a rigorous but readable way. The style and scope of the work, rounded out by the inclusion of exercises, make this an excellent textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in logic for computer scientists. â€œThis is a short introductory book on the topic of propositional and first-order logic, with a bias towards computer scientistsâ€¦. SchÃ¶ning...gives us a short book (less than 170 pages) with a tight storylineâ€¦. I found this a nicely written book with many examples and exercises (126 of them). This book seems suitable for a short course, a seminar series, or part of a larger course on Prolog and logic programming, probably at the advanced undergraduate level.â€ SIGACT News
