Stan Baronett: Why Did the Logician Cross the Road?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Combining jokes, stories, and ironic situations, Stan Baronett shows how it is possible to always ground the formal, symbolic language of logic in everyday experience. Each chapter introduces a basic logical reasoning concept through a plausible premise based on happenings in daily life. Ideas are explained and illustrated by showing how an effective joke may rely on an unanticipated assumption that leads to an unexpected result. Injecting a sense of humor into logical language, Baronett helps us understand how to analyze basic causal reasoning and provides light relief for anyone daunted by the complex world of logic.
