A clear and accessible introduction to the elements of logic, with a wealth of problems and exercises. Students learn logic by practicing it―by working through problems, analyzing existing arguments, and constructing their own arguments in plain language and symbolic notation. The Art of Reasoning not only introduces the principles of critical thinking and logic in a clear, accessible, and logical manner―thus practicing what it preaches―but it also provides ample opportunity for students to hone their skills and master course content.
