5.0 out of 5 starsOn top of my list !
By André Gargoura on May 4, 2012
Format: Paperback
To be clearer than Peter Smith is simply next to impossible.

This book is a beautiful entry-point, a must, in the world of logic.

This book now stands in my list of outstanding books on logic :

1. A. Tarski's "Introduction to Logic", a jewel, followed by P. Smith's superb entry-point "An introduction to Formal logic" and the lovely "Logic, a very short introduction" by Graham Priest

2. D. Goldrei's "Propositional and Predicate calculus"

3. Wilfrid Hodges' "Logic", followed by Smullyan's "First-order logic".

4. P. Smith's "An introduction to Gödel's theorems".

5. Kleene's "Introduction to metamathematics" & "Mathematical Logic".

6. G. Priest's " Introduction to non-classical logic".

Hence forgetting altogether Van Dalen's indigestible "Logic & Stucture" as well as
the even more indigestible Enderton, Mendelson & al...

5.0 out of 5 starsGentle Logic Introduction
By Justin Turner on October 12, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This text provides a very gentle introduction to formal logic. The chapters are short and punchy, and difficulty rises gradually. I would strongly recommend it as a supplementary text for a student studying formal logic.
