"Version: 20180601"--Title page verso."A Morgan & Claypool publication as part of IOP Concise Physics"--Title page verso.1. Propositional algebra -- 1.1. Propositions -- 1.2. Logical operators -- 1.3. Notes on notation -- 1.4. The T and F symbols -- 1.5. Properties of logical operators [not sign], [vel], and [wedge] -- 1.6. The [turnstile] symbol2. Predicate logic -- 2.1. What is predicate logic? -- 2.2. The [for all] symbol (FOR ALL) -- 2.3. The [exists] symbol (EXISTS) -- 2.4. Properties of the logical symbols [for all] and [exists]3. Deductive reasoning -- 3.1. What is deductive reasoning? -- 3.2. An example.This book gives a rigorous yet 'physics-focused' introduction to mathematical logic that is geared towards natural science majors. We present the science major with a robust introduction to logic, focusing on the specific knowledge and skills that will unavoidably be needed in calculus topics and natural science topics in general (rather than taking a philosophical-math-fundamental oriented approach that is commonly found in mathematical logic textbooks).Natural science majors.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Pereyra graduated with an undergraduate degree in Physics from the Universidad Central De Venezuela in 1991. He then studied at University of Maryland at College Park, where he obtained his MS in 1995 and his PhD in 1997. He is currently an Associate Professor in Astrophysics at the Physics and Astronomy Department of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Dr. Pereyra's research work has been largely in the development of computational models of physical systems.Title from PDF title page (viewed on July 11, 2018).
