      By Thompson, Sam
       c2022., Primary, GARETH STEVENS PUBLISHING Call No: 005.101 5113    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: Logic helps a computer to "think," but it's the computer programmer who places logic in their coding to make a program run properly. In this excellent introduction to computer logic, promising programmers are presented with the basics of logic design, such as true and false statements, if and then conditionals, and more. The concepts of logic gates and mathematical symbols in coding are also introduced cleverly with clear, at-level language and colorful images to help readers understand in a visual way. Finally, they'll read about how logic--and coding--accomplishes fascinating tasks, such as running their favorite video games.

      By Sorensen, Roy A
       Call No: 160 SOR    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: A Cabinet of Philosophical Curiosities is a colorful collection of puzzles and paradoxes, both historical and contemporary, by philosopher Roy Sorensen. Taking inspiration from Ian Stewart's Professor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities, which assembled interesting "maths" from outside the classroom into a miscellany of marvels, these puzzles are ready to be enjoyed independently but gain mutual support when read in clusters. The volume ranges from simple examples to anomalous anomalies, considers data that seems to confirm a generalization while lowering its probability, and argues that we are doomed to believe infinitely many contradictions-and that the pain of contradictions can be profoundly stimulating. Inside this book you will learn of John Eck, who debated Luther in 1519. He devised a sequence of contracts that sidestepped usury laws, and German bankers made a fortune from this Triple Contract. Sorensen also recounts how Voltaire set himself up for life by exploiting a fallacy in the construction of a Parisian lottery. There is logic for altruists, too. You will discover how General Benjamin Butler used other-centric reasoning to protect runaway slaves. There are historical snapshots of logic in action, and the book contains tributes to Lewis Carroll, Arthur Prior, and Peter Geach. In addition to short essays, there are dialogues, cures and insults.

      By Almossawi, Ali
       [2014]., The Experiment Call No: HI-INT 168 ALM   Edition: Second edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: Have you read (or stumbled into) one too many irrational online debates? Ali Almossawi certainly had, so he wrote An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments! This handy guide is here to bring the internet age a much-needed dose of old-school logic (really old-school, a la Aristotle). Here are cogent explanations of the straw man fallacy, the slippery slope argument, the ad hominem attack, and other common attempts at reasoning that actually fall shortplus a beautifully drawn menagerie of animals who (adorably) commit every logical faux pas. Rabbit thinks a strange light in the sky must be a UFO because no one can prove otherwise (the appeal to ignorance). And Lion doesnt believe that gas emissions harm the planet because, if that were true, he wouldnt like the result (the argument from consequences). Once you learn to recognize these abuses of reason, they start to crop up everywhere from congressional debate to YouTube commentswhich makes this geek-chic book a must for anyone in the habit of holding opinions.
