Description
This book is designed for undergraduate students and does not require any background in mathematics or philosophy. It covers formal principles of inference and sets theory, and introduces examples of axiomatically formulated theories.
Coherent, well organized text familiarizes readers with complete theory of logical inference and its applications to math and the empirical sciences. Part I deals with formal principles of inference and definition; Part II explores elementary intuitive set theory, with separate chapters on sets, relations, and functions. Last section introduces numerous examples of axiomatically formulated theories in both discussion and exercises. Ideal for undergraduates; no background in math or philosophy required.
