great book to teach logic to children
By Sergei Mikhelson (ssm21@columbia.edu) on May 25, 1999
Format: Paperback
This book by Lewis Carroll is a wonderful source to learn the basics of logic in a funny and natural way. It can be used as a self-study guide or as a manual for educators teaching elements of logic to schoolchildren. It is very clear and consequent and gives the basic idea of propositions and syllogisms. The theory is framed in an unusual game that makes it much more understandable. As always Carroll's examples are a little bit absurdic but this is exactly what makes them humorous, attractive and involving. The book is also a great brain teaser for readers of all ages. Unfortunately it is not as well known as Alice in Wonderland but it has been translated into many foreign languages. I widely used the Russain translation when teaching logic to schoolchildren in St. Petersburg, Russia. Currently being a doctoral student in the States I try to introduce it to my colleagues.

Reminds us that math can be FUN
By Philip Welsh on January 20, 2000
Format: Paperback
Math is fun, but the rhetoric of most 'taught' (probably an overstatement) math (and, by extension, logic) is so incredibly dry that the forest is rarely seen for the bark on the trees. But here Carroll, with tongue lodged firmly in cheek, turns the rhetoric (and by extension, the way we think about math problems) on its ear, and the result is an often incredibly funny approach to math and logic problems which stays with you and ultimately worms its way into your quotidian. I'll also say that, as an atrociously poor student in high school, this book allowed me to ace the SATs, and then ten years later the GREs.

This ain't Wonderland
By KnottyFella on July 21, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Some books you read to relax, some to learn, and some...well, some will make you think and wonder and grow. This is one of those.

The problems here have been around for more than a century, and yet they are still as effective in teaching logic as the day they were written.

If you are getting ready for the LSAT, this is not a bad place to start. If you just want to tease your intellect, this is a great source for hours of amusement.

Coming from a great writer of children's tales, you'll easily learn the very basic terms of logic, almost like children's play.
By Amazon Customer on September 4, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
On the one side, you will learn what was the method Lewis Carroll used to compose his tales, the method behind the contradictions, puzzles and paradoxes in his books; on the other side, it is a very good introductory book on logic, specially for young readers. After a classification of the objects and tools of logic, he teaches how to solve simple but interesting logic problems. All of this while you have fun and enjoy the easy reading and get acquainted with what is considered by the majority a difficult subject. Highly recommended!

Interesting Non-Fiction by the author of Alice of Wonderland
By Wallace Webster on October 14, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Classic volume on symbolic logic by Charles Dodgson. Dodgson was an English writer, mathematician, and logician, who wrote his fiction under the the Lewis Carroll. While it is rather odd that the publishers of this volume choose to use Dodgson's pen name, Lewis Carroll, as the author of this volume, I suppose publishing his nonfiction works under his real name would have doomed this volume to obscurity. Most modern readers know him for his most famous fiction story, Alice in Wonderland, but Dodgson was also a very prolific writer in the field of mathematics, and produced nearly a dozen works under his real name.

As a layman interested in logic, I found Dodgson's book on Symbolic Logic to be very instructive. Recommended.

Not for simple minds
By eddie w on March 11, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
No, it's not a game. All the reviews that gave this 1 star probably don't understand logical thinking. This is an amazing book, well laid out and very much like a text book. Not for light reading or a logic for dummies book.

Symbolic Logic / Lewis Carroll
By Kindle Customer on September 26, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Great book, if you're into such things. It's fun and written by Lewis Carroll. I first heard about it when reading Number of the Beast by Robert Heinlein. It's a helpful book when thinking about programming...
