{"product_id":"elements-of-logical-reasoning-jan-von-plato-9781107610774","title":"Elements of Logical Reasoning","description":"Some of our earliest experiences of the conclusive force of an argument come from school mathematics: faced with a mathematical proof, we cannot deny the conclusion once the premises have been accepted. Behind such arguments lies a more general pattern of 'demonstrative arguments' that is studied in the science of logic. Logical reasoning is applied at all levels, from everyday life to advanced sciences, and a remarkable level of complexity is achieved in everyday logical reasoning, even if the principles behind it remain intuitive. Jan von Plato provides an accessible but rigorous introduction to an important aspect of contemporary logic: its deductive machinery. He shows that when the forms of logical reasoning are analysed, it turns out that a limited set of first principles can represent any logical argument. His book will be valuable for students of logic, mathematics and computer science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Von Plato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110761077X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107610774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Jan Von Plato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980851446015,"sku":"9781107610774","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6989d334-8b97-4c93-ab67-716320f9895b.jpg?v=1683252255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elements-of-logical-reasoning-jan-von-plato-9781107610774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
