    Description
    This course introduces the principles of valid deductive reasoning and includes a study of formal techniques of sentential and predicate logic. The use of truth-tables for propositional connectives and interpretations for statements of first-order logic using mathematical theory is presented. The conclusion of the course will engage students in issues such as the completeness of propositional calculus, “fuzzy logic,” and deontic logic.
