Natural Deduction: The Logical Basis Of Axiom Systems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258629922)

""Natural Deduction: The Logical Basis Of Axiom Systems"" by Anderson and Mueller is a comprehensive introduction to the natural deduction method of proof in logic. The book presents a clear and concise explanation of the principles of natural deduction, including the use of assumptions, conditional proofs, and indirect proofs. The authors also provide a thorough overview of the different types of axioms and the role they play in logical systems. The book is organized into six chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of natural deduction. Chapter one introduces the basic concepts of logic and sets the stage for the rest of the book. Chapter two provides an in-depth explanation of the natural deduction method, including the rules of inference and the use of truth tables. Chapter three focuses on the use of assumptions in natural deduction, while chapter four covers the use of conditional proofs. Chapter five explores the use of indirect proofs, including proof by contradiction and proof by contrapositive. Finally, chapter six provides an overview of axiom systems and the different types of axioms that are commonly used in logic. Throughout the book, the authors provide numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their understanding of natural deduction and axiom systems. Overall, ""Natural Deduction: The Logical Basis Of Axiom Systems"" is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about logic and proof theory. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both beginners and more advanced readers. Whether you are a student of philosophy, mathematics, or computer science, this book is sure to provide valuable insights into the principles of natural deduction and the logical basis of axiom systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
