A First Course in Logic is an introduction to first-order logic suitable for first and second year mathematicians and computer scientists. There are three components to this course: propositional logic; Boolean algebras; and predicate/first-order, logic. Logic is the basis of proofs in mathematics ? how do we know what we say is true? ? and also of computer science ? how do I know this program will do what I think it will? Surprisingly little mathematics is needed to learn and understand logic (this course doesn’t involve any calculus). The real mathematical prerequisite is an ability to manipulate symbols: in other words, basic algebra. Anyone who can write programs should have this ability.
