Critical Reasoning and Logic

by Robert Boyd

Maintaining that the ultimate goal of critical reasoning is to make informed, educated decisions, this text presents a process that enables the reader to apply proper reasoning techniques in a practical fashion. This book is balanced between three activities: identification of arguments, evaluation of arguments using inductive reasoning, and evaluation of arguments using deductive reasoning. For computer scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, or anyone who is interested in using the practical applications of logic to evaluate their own writing and arguments as well as the writing and arguments of others.

This is my first time reading an academic textbook on my own, not much you won't learn In a logic and composition class, except for the logical equations with variables (not sure what to call it) I stoped there, because I'm not sure how to work them.
