IntroductiontoLogic(3/e)

Introduction to Logic is a concise and easy-to-understand textbook that incorporates engaging examples from both philosophy and everyday life. With its innovative proof method and the star test for syllogisms, testing arguments has never been simpler. This book is perfect for introductory or intermediate courses, as well as for self-study and standardized test preparation.

Additionally, this Third Edition includes updated and improved explanations, particularly in areas that students find challenging. A fuller explanation of traditional Copi proofs and truth trees is also included. The companion LogiCola software has been updated to be touch-friendly and installs more easily on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. New exercises on Copi proofs and truth trees have been added to the LogiCola program.

What sets this book apart from its competitors is its reasonable price, at only one-third of the cost of other textbooks, and its corresponding exercises in the free LogiCola instructional program. LogiCola can be downloaded for free from http://www.harryhiker.com/lc or http://www.routledge.com/cw/gensler.
