"This book has been written primarily to serve as a textbook for a first course in modern logic. No background in mathematics or philosophy is supposed. My main objective has been to familiarize the reader with an exact and complete theory of logical inference and to show how it may be used in mathematics and the empirical sciences."--Preface.
