Coherent, well-organized text familiarizes readers with complete theory of logical inference and its applications to math and the empirical sciences. Part I deals with formal principles of inference and definition. Part II explores elementary intuitive set theory, with separate chapters on sets, relations, and functions. Last section introduces numerous examples of axiomatically formulated theories.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Not too introductory, but excellent,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Logic (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
I recommend this book to philosophy students who study philosophical logic and wish to get into mathematical logic. The system of natural deduction he uses is not explained in much detail, but as long as you have learned at least one system of natural deduction and perhaps even the tree method of proof, you should be fine. His definitions and explanations of terms and of how one develops logical rules are excellent and explained very well. There is also a treatment of informal proof methods that mathematicians use, a section on basic set theory, and a section on axiomatizing scientific theories--the latter hinting at some of Suppes' own philosophical ideas.

This review is from: Introduction to Logic (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
I used this book as an additional reference for graduate Logic courses and I found it is really a great book that any Mathematician or Logician should have it. Its examples and explanations are very clear that anyone who has little logic concept can easily understand with out any difficulty. Its exercises through out the book are well organized and carefully selected and are very helpful despite the fact that this book lacks answers and solutions for the exercise problems.

Great introduction (and a bit more),
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Logic (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
Suppes is a reference in the foundations of Maths (Logic and set theory). This Introduction to Logic is actually an introduction to his "Axiomatic Set Theory", a reference on the topic. His language is clear, and yet mathematically precise.
Nice purchase, nice reading.
