Seduce with Logic. Conclusions for All Occasions

This book fully justifies its title. Reading it, you will understand the charm of logical thinking and see how logic helps us reason and draw conclusions even in the most complex life situations. At the end of each chapter, the reader will find a tempting morsel – a small puzzle. And no matter what the author tells – about the structure of a computer or compiling a library catalog, about the competition between Achilles and the tortoise or the barber who just can't shave – he shows: logic can indeed be truly seductive! Dresser sets himself a rather difficult task – to explain to the reader the ideas of classical logic and new discoveries in the science that serves as the foundation of all exact sciences through amusing stories. And the author brilliantly accomplishes this task, so that everything presented on the pages of the book is clear and interesting to both specialists and amateurs.
