Synopsis

Practical Symbolic Logic offers a clear, hands‑on introduction to how reasoning works.

This approachable guide explains statements, syllogisms, and how symbolic methods apply to real‑world problems, including elementary mathematics. It helps readers see how complex arguments fit together through simple, repeatable rules.

• Defines what counts as a statement and a proposition, with practical examples.
• Shows how to recognize valid forms and how to test arguments step by step.
• Explains common syllogisms and the rules that govern them without heavy jargon.
• Offers a guided path from basic ideas to more advanced symbolic techniques.

Ideal for readers new to logic or those seeking a concrete method to structure reasoning, with clear explanations and practical exercises to build confidence.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Symbolic Logic and Its Applications

This little volume may be regarded as the final concentrated outcome of a series of researches begun in 1872 and continued (though with some long breaks) until to-day. My article entitled "Probability Notation No. 2," which appeared in 1872 in the Educational Times, and was republished in the mathematical "Reprint" contains the germs of the more developed method which I afterwards explained in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society and in Mind. But the most important developments from the logical point of view will be found in the articles which I contributed within the last eight or nine years to various magazines, English and French. Among these I may especially mention those in Mind and in the Athenœum, portions of which I have (with the kind permission of these magazines) copied into this brief epitome.

Readers who only want to obtain a clear general view of symbolic logic and its applications need only attend to the following portions:1 to 18, 22 to 24, 46 to 53, g 76 to 80, 112 to 120, 144 to 150.

Students who have to pass elementary examinations in ordinary logic may restrict their reading to 1 to 18, 46 to 59, 62 to 66, 76 to 109, 112.
