I love when you do videos on logic books, probably my favorite subject. Patrick Hurley's "A Concise Introduction to Logic" is the best modern textbook of logic I know of. If anyone is interested in getting started in the subject, I highly suggest it.
Best still, anything by Wilfrid Hodges especially his out of print _Logic_. Borrowing that, Irving Copi's Introduction to Logic, in particular, the 13th edition (co-author since his passing). 14th, and later editions are not quite as good as the 13th.
@@viktoria.p.777 Croatia, and most of Europe probably. As I said, it isn't mandatory in every high school, but a very large percentage. Namely - gimnazije (semi-general high school education, similar to US or UK high schools) in which around 40% of students in the country enroll, there are different types: mathmatical, general, science-math and classical (latin and greek studies). These schools are normally the ones associated with going into university or higher education - all of them have this subject for at least one entire year, except for maybe classical - they may or may not have it, but it's literally the least popular type of gymnasium. Let's say at least 38-40% of students take it because of this. In vocational school on the other hand, many also have this as a mandatory subjects, let's say 30% of them, and the other 30% probably have it as an elective. So, around 60-75% of students take it in my country. The curriculum is a bit simplified, it's essentially all the basics like syllogisms, deductive and inductive reasoning, logical fallacies, venn diagrams... they also added machine learning a few years ago - it's a neuron network simplification or something at the end of the book, it's great honestly My dad went to a vocational high school in the late 80s and he had logic for 2 years even though he only had physics for 1 year and math for 2 years... For some reason, it's a well regarded subject and it's likely going nowhere
@viktoria.p.777 Yeah, I remember attending Kangoroo, I will even be competing this year for the last time - in 12th grade... I got a good score last year In Croatia, they destroyed the education system for maths and physics by greatly simplifying it back in 2019/2020...as you said. I still use older books from the 50s or from the USSR in English to learn maths and physics. I go to a mathematical gymansium and they removed half the topics from physics sadly
I really appreciate your book review videos, especially those concerning discrete Math and related topics such as computer science and proof writing. Shall you recommend me a book on invariant principle and monovariants, apart from Engel book I already know? Thank you so much, I really enjoy your contents and advices.
For the undergraduate level, the best is Introducti0n to Set Theory by Jech & Hrbáček Close alternatives are Enderton's Set Theory and Notes on Set Theory by Moschovakis At the graduate level, again, Jech's (no Hrbáček) and most crucial is Kunen's Set Theory, Intro to Independence Proofs
I'm sorry I just have to ask, why are you charging such a premium on this particular copy when they are available for as cheap as $9? You can put whatever price you want as it's your choice but I'm just curious.
"Logic and Philosophy" by Howard Kahane is still in print.
I used the 4th edition; it is now in its 13th.

Wow, thank you, I really needed this
Sorcerer here to reveal another magic book
Closest to this that I ever got in university is boolean algebra.
Man i always wanted this books
What about the book by Irving Copi? Is it considered to be good?
A slightly simplified version of this is mandatory in most high schools in my country
Which country? I am just curious.

I took logic at the University of the Incarnate Word probably 20 years ago. It was an enjoyable class, and I wish I still had the textbook.
I've got the FIFTH edition in my home library!! 😉
Nice!!
Please suggest a book on set theory book

@@CalBruinNative set theory by paul Halmos what you thing about this book
@godkeshavyt7229 I never used the book. A previous gloss through has me thinking an acceptable text for one _not_ concentrating in maths.
@@CalBruin I have this book but it covered the very small portion of set theory but in depth.

His copies are on ebay and have been bid up since he listed them.
@@malavoy1it used to be that way but now they have high lower bounds on prices.
Interesting.
I did not know that I was actually smart.
i aced logic, why do i struggle with calculus
Nah bro barks
I just lost my dawg
The logic is the best tool to prove or deprove anything
