This book provides an exceptionally clear introduction to classical logic, with a unique approach that emphasizes both the hows and whys of logic. Here Nicholas Smith thoroughly covers the formal tools and techniques of logic while also imparting a deeper understanding of their underlying rationales and broader philosophical significance. In addition, this is the only introduction to logic available today that presents all the major forms of proof--trees, natural deduction in all its major variants, axiomatic proofs, and sequent calculus. The book also features numerous exercises, with solutions available on an accompanying website. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLogic\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal textbook for undergraduates and graduate students seeking a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides an essential introduction to classical logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eEmphasizes the how and why of logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCovers both formal and philosophical issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003ePresents all the major forms of proof--from trees to sequent calculus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFeatures numerous exercises, with solutions available at http: \/\/njjsmith.com\/philosophy\/lawsoftruth\/\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe ideal textbook for undergraduates and graduate students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas J.
