Description

This text moves from a simple to a more complex presentation of logic. It includes coverage of such topics as categorical and sentential logic, informal fallacies, inductive logic, and extended arguments. With a non-technical approach, this book leads students step-by-step through simple demonstrations and then on to more complex material as their comfort level increases. Well-designed examples, sample problems, explanatory charts and diagrams, and exercises abound.
