Course Contents
An examination of the theory of propositions of classical -- i.e. first-order, extensional -- logic. Exposition of the semantic structures of truth-functionally molecular propositions by means of the methods of truth tables and truth trees (analytic tableaux). Determination of the semantic statuses of propositions, test of logical implication and equivalence between propositions, of the consistency of sets, and of the validity of inferences by means of the same methods.
