Classical logic – which studies the structural features of purported
claims of fact – and modal logic – which studies relations of
necessity and possibility – are different but complementary areas of
logical thought. In this lively and accessible textbook, Adam
Bjorndahl provides a comprehensive and unified introduction to the two
subjects, treating them with the same level of rigour and detail and
showing how they fit together. The core material appears in the main
text, with hundreds of supplemental examples, comments,
clarifications, and connections presented throughout in easy-to-read
sidenotes, giving the book a distinct conversational feel. A detailed,
multi-part appendix covers important background mathematical material
that some students may lack, such as induction or the concept of
countable infinity. A fully self-contained learning resource, this
book will be ideal for a semester-long upper-level university course
on either or both of the topics.
