Abstract

An introductory logic text with the emphasis on the process of problem solving, said process being broken down into five parts: analysis of the problem, formation, examination, testing of hypotheses, and drawing of conclusions. Elements of traditional and symbolic logic are utilized in the section on examining hypotheses. There is a strong tendency towards oversimplification, and the author's unrestrained use of the exclamation point is rather annoying!—A. E. J.
