(iv) Introduction to logic
Aubrey Townsend
Synopsis The only prerequisite for this option is an interest in
thinking and reasoning clearly and correctly. We all distinguish between valid
(or correct) and invalid (or incorrect) reasoning and argument. Logicians seek
to make this distinction precise and to develop systematic accounts of valid
argument. We will be doing this at an introductory level in this course.
Assessment Four exercises: 5% each + Test: 30%
