Language, Proof and Logic, 2nd Edition 2nd Edition by David Barker-Plummer (PDF)

Description

Previous printings of Language, Proof and Logic contained a CD-ROM.For the current version of this pack-files accompanying the textbook can be downloaded by using the Registration/Book ID# printed on the reverse side of the card. The textbook/software package covers first-order language in a method appropriate for first and second courses in logic. An on-line grading services instantly grades solutions to hundred of computer exercises. It is designed to be used by philosophy instructors teaching a logic course to undergraduates in philosophy, computer science, mathematics, and linguistics. Introductory material is presented in a systematic and accessible fashion. Advanced chapters include proofs of soundness and completeness for propositional and predicate logic, as well as an accessible sketch of Godel’s first incompleteness theorem. The book is appropriate for a wide range of courses, from first logic courses for undergraduates (philosophy, mathematics, and computer science) to a first graduate logic course. The software package includes four programs: Tarski’s World 5.0, a new version of the popular program that teaches the basic first-order language and its semantics; Fitch, a natural deduction proof environment for giving and checking first-order proofs; Boole, a program that facilitates the construction and checking of truth tables and related notions (tautology, tautological consequence, etc.); Submit, a program that allows students to submit exercises done with the above programs to the Grade Grinder, the automatic grading service. Grade reports are returned to the student and, if requested, to the student’s instructor, eliminating the need for tedious checking of homework. All programs are available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems. Instructors do not need to use the programs themselves in order to be able to take advantage of their pedagogical value. More about the software can be found at lpl.stanford.edu. The price of a new text/software package includes one Registration ID, which must be used each time work is submitted to the grading service. Once activated, the Registration ID is not transferable.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐If you are a student buying this book for a logic course, please read this review.The book requires that you set up an account on the GradeGrinder server to use the software & do the homework. The number in the back of the book is only good for one account, and can’t be entered to make a second one (that is, a used book may be useless). However, you CAN resell this book with account intact if you create and link a generic email address (say, logician7725@gmail.com) and give that info to the person who buys it from you. This way you don’t have to hang on to a book which won’t be useful to you after the courses are over. Good luck.

⭐Should have listened to other reviews I had read. If you buy new, great, you get software. Used, you don’t. Used, book is too tied to the software to make any sense without it.

⭐Just okay condition. But, I am a college student. As long as the pages are all there then it doesn’t matter too much.I wish the seller advertised more prominently the fact that the CD to accompany may not be included. So, it was kinda a gamble. Thank god other students in my class are smart with computers and were able to give me a copy via flash drive.Not too much writing either in the book. Looked like a dog ate the corner though. Quite literally the dog ate my homework/book hahaha. Or perhaps the student became frustrated with logic and bit their book.Either way, the book was clearly written and I had a fun time learning logic. The authors had a different approach with introducing logic than other books I have used.

⭐besides information is concerned, for my class i was required to get a brand new book because of the software. When i went to install, of course the disc is blank and has no software. I was able to get the software online on the account. Make sure to include Dashes and capital letters. Very inconvenient for one time use Software that you HAVE to pay for.The information at first isn’t that bad. I’m taking an online class currently with this book. And i’m beyond ends meet with this book. Pulling hair left and right, confused, irritated, and beyond fed up with this book. Unless you have formal knowledge, than this book is better use as fire material. Problems are much difficult than the Examples (of course) and the “hints” are all the easy problems, never difficult problems to get an understanding. The software is pretty crap IMO, constantly dragging clicking this and that, when it could have been formatted much better.The class is a low level class, and I blame the book and the teacher. There are a couple of websites that “help” somewhat, but if you are already confused it just adds to it. There is no real review system to understand why you get stuff wrong and it defeats the purpose of problems with no way of helping you. I plan on burning this book before i am to “sell” it back Not to mention i HAD to buy the book to obtain the software, forcing you to pay the costs. I DO NOT recommend.

⭐This logic book provides an adequate amout of explination in a easy-to-read fashion. After moving on to the higher level logic course offered at my university and using the Enderton logic textbook, I am missing this guy so bad. Professors: use this book for your course. Students: read this book if you get lost in class. Use the included software. Seriously, it’s helpful.

⭐Everything was included in the package that I required for my class. Saved a lot of money buying it through amazon. I would recommend this product and seller for college students.

⭐This was an interesting book for an even more interesting course. The programs were a bit tough to install, but once they were installed there was no problems with them, or with having them go along with the course material as well as the material in the book.

⭐The CD makes this book. The book itself is freaking useless but the CD it comes with is worth the purchase price. TONS of examples included on the CD and very good overall software. If this book isn’t assigned to you I would recommend purchasing it only for the CD

⭐This is just what was needed to prepare me for my course in philosophy. Hope the rest of the year continues like this.

⭐Il libro seppur in inglese è seguibile, anche se a tratti confusionario, si prenderebbe comunque 3 stelle se non fosse per il software: di ignobile programmazione, sembra davvero fatto da delle scimmie nemmeno tanto ammaestrate: antintuitivo, confusionario, pieno di glitch grafici, più lo si usa più ci si stupisce in negativo di quanto male sia fatto, a discapito di noi poveri studenti che siano costretti ad utilizzarlo. Un libro così grande ed utilizzato da così tanti professiori che pretende addirittura la prova d’acquisto per poter inviare gli esercizi svolti come minimo dovrebbe essere sviluppato con il minimo raziocinio, qui ci troviamo davanti ad un’accozzaglia di codice senza senso apparente.The software (Tarski world, fitch and bool) is not downloadable clbecause the id is not accepted when put in the registration form.Only reason why i bought the book and it cannot be returned because the “plastic packet” that covers the id has been opened (obviously)

⭐Considerando lo scopo del libro, ovvero introdurre alla Logica persone che non la abbiamo mai studiata prima di allora, si tratta di un testo discreto.Riesce a spiegare le basi della Logica in maniera facile ed amichevole da comprendere. Anche se il libro è in inglese non richiede un’ eccessiva padronanza della lingua per essere compreso.Tuttavia questo significa che certe volte il libro risulta essere impreciso o si soffermi a fare degli esempi davvero banali. Inoltre esso non arriva ad affrontare temi e problemi più avanzati della Logica.Per quanto riguarda il software, nonostante possa risultare legnoso, non ho riscontrato alcun problema o eccessiva difficoltà nel suo utilizzo.In sintesi questo può essere un libro utile per chi vuole avvicinarsi al mondo della Logica per la prima volta e sia alla ricerca di un testo chiaro e di facile comprensione. Tuttavia il prezzo alto del libro, se comprato nuovo, mi porta a consigliarne l’acquisto solamente a chi ritenga necessario avere accesso a “GradeGrind”. Io, personalmente, l’ ho acquistato nuovo solamente perché il mio corso richiedeva la consegna dei compiti attraverso il server di GradeGrind.Libro acquistato per volere della mia professoressa di università in quanto era obbligatorio l’utilizzo del software. Inizialmente ero assolutamente contrario sia per il fatto che fosse in inglese sia per il prezzo altino (50 €) ma alla fine ho ceduto e l’ho comprato.PEGGIORE SCELTA DELLA MIA VITA.Il libro è utile solamente per il software e per gli esercizi (alcuni dei quali possono essere corretti automaticamente grazie al programma Subit). Il resto è una valanga di esempi banali che molto spesso vengono fatti in classe e di terminologie che, ovviamente, non corrispondono a quelle italiane. Inoltre una volta comprato il libro non lo si può rivendere dato che l’identificativo presente sul dischetto è personale e non trasferibile.
