Electronics, Logic And Auto Flight Instruments

Logic and computation are highly interdependent areas of research. On the one hand, logic plays an important role in computation both at the foundational and applied levels. For instance, several well-known programming and specification languages and systems have been developed as computational implementations of logical systems. Computing paradigms, such as declarative programming or formal specification and verification, owe much to logic. On the other hand, there are lots of computing-driven studies on logic.

A book which efficiently presents the basics of propositional and predicate logic, van Dalen’s popular textbook contains a complete treatment of elementary classical logic, using Gentzen’s Natural Deduction. Propositional and predicate logic are treated in separate chapters in a leisured but precise way. Chapter Three presents the basic facts of model theory, e.g. compactness, Skolem-Löwenheim, elementary equivalence, non-standard models, quantifier elimination, and Skolem functions.
