More than an introductory logic text, June 4, 2005, by D. Terry [Amazon.com] This book is a fine introduction to logic and the philosophy of logic. The book provides a basic introduction to ...

This paper studies the relationship between Argumentation Logic (AL), a recently defined logic based on the study of argumentation in AI, and classical Propositional Logic (PL). In particular, it ...

In propositional logic, an atomic sentence is simple in the sense that it is not the result of composition from simpler sentences using the propositional connectives.

In this article, we address the problem both from the semantic and the proof-theoretical point of view. We propose a hierarchy of propositional logics that are all tractable (i.e. decidable in ...

While fascinating, propositional logic and Boolean algebra initially belonged strictly to the realm of pure mathematics, with fewer applications than a branch of math like differential equations ...
