Hello Everybody

I just started taking a intro to logic for computer science and was wondering if anyone knows any good online resources. My textbook is not the best and lacks problems and the problems there are no solutions or answers.

Thanks

Thanks I will check out the links :smile:
 
Sorry I'm late.

Philosophy Pages' logic section. There's some good introductory stuff here.
http://www.philosophypages.com/lg/index.htm

Text "A Primer for Logic and Proof". Looks fine, but I haven't read it. Includes problems but no answers.
http://www.cs.clemson.edu/~fmgroup/Materials/logicprimer.pdf

Mathematical logic text. I haven't read this one either.
http://www.ltn.lv/~podnieks/mlog/ml.htm

I didn't like this one much, but maybe someone else will.

There must be something good here.

Text "A Problem Course in Mathemtical Logic". Includes chapter on computability, so this might be of extra interest to you (I can't recall which, if any, of the others do).

Good luck. :smile: Come back if you have any questions.

I highly recommend buying or checking your library for Logic by Wilfrid Hodges and reading it first. It's very funny, short, he gives detailed answers to every problem -- just a wonderful book. I love this guy. Check out his website too (in the links section). :biggrin:

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
