About this course

Logic is the careful study of reasoning. It investigates how critical thinking is successful and, when it's not, what goes wrong. Understanding logic enables one to recognize and craft good arguments in every area of life, from science and technology to political debates and everything in between. This course introduces the composition of arguments and fallacious reasoning, honing students' ability to identify and formulate problems and evaluate solutions. Our goal is to analyze and understand the formal tools that allow us to represent the most salient features of reasoning in the most precise terms.
