Riassunto

Tarski's World 4.0 is an innovative and enjoyable way to introduce your students to the language of first-order logic. Using this program, students quickly master the meaning of the connectives and quantifiers, and soon become fluent in the symbolic language at the core of modern logic. Tarski's World allows the students to build three-dimensional worlds, and to describe them in first-order logic. They evaluate the sentences in the constructed worlds, and if their evaluation is incorrect, the program provides them with a game that leads them to understand where they went wrong. The package is intended as a supplement to any standard logic text, or for use by anyone who wants to learn the language. The disk and manual contain over a hundred exercises from very basic to highly sophisticated.

Recensione

'Together the manual and program offer an excellent introduction to the syntax and semantics of logical notation.' George Boulos, Journal of Symbolic Logic

'I heartily recommend Tarski's World and Turing's World ... Without a doubt logic instruction needs more programs like these.' James Moore, Teaching Philosophy

'The authors are pioneers. [Tarski's World] is the only program that I know for teaching first-order semantics, and it sets a high standard. I warmly recommend it.' Wilfrid Hodges, Queen Mary College
