Symbolic Logic

Karl Smith's new title in the One Unit Series in Precalculus Mathematics follows his now famous style of writing and teaching with clearly presented, well developed topics, strong exercise sets, and attention to detail. With plenty of examples and illustrations, students quickly grasp symbolic logic. Smith's goal in writing this book is to provide a foundation upon which students can evaluate logical arguments - not only in a formal statement-proof context in mathematics, but also in everyday discussions. Examples are taken from newspapers, radio, television commercials, and other contemporary sources to show students that math has real, everyday applications. This book should be of interest to students of mathematics.
