We say that an n-argument predicate $P\subset \Omega ^{n}$ is finite, if P is a finite set. Note that the set of individuals Ω is infinite! Finite predicates are ...

We first extend Quine's method of eliminating the bound variables to first-order predicate logic with operation symbols ; then we give a device for eliminating also the free variables ; and finally we ...

Logic is among the oldest and most foundational of the university disciplines. The goal is to equip students with most general possible framework for sound and rigorous reasoning — one that works ...
