In software engineering, systems with the ability to perform logical deduction are being applied to the synthesis, verification and transformation of computer programs. In artificial intelligence, such systems are applied to the understanding of natural language and the formation of commonsense and robotic plans. Expert systems, deductive databases, and logic-programming systems may be regarded as rudimentary applications of this new deductive technology.This book provides a carefully paced introduction to the logical underpinnings of these applications. Exceptionally clear and laced with examples, this book requires no prior knowledge of logic or programming.

This book has nothing to do with computer programming; it is an elementary introduction to propositional and predicate logic with simple illustrations from computer science: the theory of nonnegative integers, tuples, trees, and so on. The first author is supposed to be a big authority on formal verification of reactive systems.
