Logic in Computer Science
Про цю електронну книгу
The book assumes no background in logic. It presents logics as practical tools for solving various problems in artificial intelligence and formal verification. Accordingly, it is well suited for (junior and senior) undergraduate and graduate students majoring in computer science or mathematics. Each chapter includes roughly a dozen exercise problems, so as to help the reader understand the concepts and techniques discussed.
