Introductory Logic PHI 120 Presentation: "Natural Deduction – Introduction“ Bring this book to lecture
2
Homework Handout – The Rules The Rules Homework First step in learning the rules: 1.Elimination Rules a.What are they? (Literally, can you name them?) b.Why are they called "elimination" rules? 2.Introduction Rules a.What are they? (Literally, can you name them?) b.Why are they called "introduction rules? Second step in learning the rules: 1.pp. 19-26 a.“primitive rules” b.“elimination” and “introduction” rules (only) Important: bring to every class!! Start learning these rules of deduction

Homework Exam 1 Being graded by your TA Will be handed back in your section (In lecture, we’re pressing on)
