Chapter Seven:
Predicate Logic
Semantics and Symbolization
In this chapter, we give a better definition of meaning for PL sentences.
Then we can look at some more sophisticated symbolization of English into
PL. The goal here is to provide a precise handle on both PL and English
meaning.
Start with the introductory tutorials
presented below, then print out the reference
manual for this chapter (that way you'll have a concise statement
of this chapter's details to refer to even when away from the computer.)
Finally, and most importantly, carefully work your way through
the chapter exercises.
Still don't have the Logic Font? Having problems installing
it? Here's how to better display quantifiers
in exercises even when you don't have the font.
