When we formulate arguments to defend our beliefs or acquire new ones, we want the conclusions of our arguments to follow from the reasons we give for them, which logicians call premises. When this happens, the connection between our premises and our conclusion is strong. When an argument is what logicians call deductively valid, there is no case in which our premises are true and our conclusion is false. This means the connection between our premises and our conclusion is as strong as can be. In this course, we will learn symbolic, formal techniques that allow you to assess the deductive validity of a variety of arguments: the method of truth tables and the method of natural deduction, restricted to the region of logic known as propositional logic. These methods will help you assess the deductive validity of many arguments you encounter in your daily life, and thereby help you reason better. Mastering these symbolic, mechanical methods helps to improve memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
