Please finish the question sheet. This course serves as an introduction to the tools and concepts deployed in symbolic deductive logic. The course is not intended as a way to help sharpen critical reasoning skills regarding arguments found in everyday discourse or natural language; rather, we focus on logic as an independent area of inquiry. In particular, this course focuses onsentential logic—the branch of symbolic deductive logic that treats sentences as the most basic units of logical analysis. Throughout the quarter, we will focus on exploring three important tools that are used for the analysis of logical concepts: truth-tables, truth-trees, and derivations.
