what is "intro to logic"

probably some bullshit class some liberal proffesor pulled out of his ass to sour your young mind with socialist mubo-jumbo
 
It is a lot of complicated math problems

Fred, Sally, Steve, and Kari are all on a boat. 25% of them get seasick. Sally didn't and neither did her boyfriend. Steve has a green sweater on. The wind is blowing out of the NW at 11 mph. Kari likes green sweaters but doesn't look good in them. How much money did Fred spend on lottery tickets 2 months ago?

thats what i figured
 
Bubba and Cooter, good 'ol backwoods Tennessee boys, decide one day that they might need some education beyond high school. they head off to the local university to see what they can do. upon arriving there, they are given entrance exams and then taken into a one-on-one interview to see what their goals are. Bubba heads in for his interview....

Professor: So Bubba, what are your goals with continuing your education?

Bubba: Well, i reckon just to learn a bit more, maybe so I can have some more intell-uh-gent conversations when a'meetin with people, ya know?

Professor: Well, by looking at the scores on your exam, i can recommend 3 classes for you. I'd recommend you take American Literature, Math, and Logic.

Bubba: uh, gee sir, what's logic?

Professor: well, let me ask you...do you own a weedwhacker?

Bubba: I sure do.

Professor: so since you own a weedwhacker, using logic, i can assume that you have a yard to maintain, is that correct?

Bubba: well golly sir! that's amazing! tell me more!

Professor: well, ok. since you have a yard to maintain, using logic, i can assume that you also have a house. is that correct?

Bubba: well sir, it sure is! anything else?

Professor: sure. since you have a house, and since most bachelors don't have a house, using logic, i can assume that you also have a wife.

Bubba: well got dolly that's right! Betty Sue...bless her heart!

Professor: and since you have a wife, using logic, i can also assume that you are a heterosexual. is that correct?

Bubba: well sir, there isn't any other way to be if you're married. you're right again! i really think i'm gonna like this logic class! thanks a lot!

Bubba walks out into the hallway where Cooter is waiting his interview. Cooter begins to ask him questions.

Cooter: well? what'd that guy in there say?

Bubba: he said he reckons i should take 3 classes.

Cooter: yeah? which ones?

Bubba: American Literature, Math, and Logic.

Cooter: logic? what's that about?

Bubba: well, lemme ask you a question. do you own a weed whacker?

Cooter: uh, no, afriad i don't.

Bubba: well then you must be queer!
 
Logic is where you learn about shit like

A=B
B=C
therefore A=C (transitive property)

p implies s

p, therefore s

but s, therefore p is wrong, there's another name for that, I think that's the converse.

you learn about how certain conclusions follow from certain premises, but in a rigogrous mathematical sense, not in the sense of rhetoric.

shit like that

It's interesting, but it's no cake walk.

Probably the most useful course you'll ever take.

Yep
 
I'm the logic master.
Language? Not so much.

Of course they have to go and decide to drop the logic part off of the GRE and increase the language.

Bastards.

I like that this guy is asking us what this class is about. Ask at school or read the syllabus to find out what you signed up for? No thanks, I'll just post up on an internet fitness site.

It largely matters if it is a math class or not - I would suspect yes.

If so, AND/OR is going to be shown a lot.
 
It's sort of like - if there are 5 bottles on the fence and you take two away, how many do you have?

Answer this and I'll let you know what your grade will be.
 
you'll learn the finer points of OR

next time someone asks you if something is something OR something else you'll be like, is that inclusive or or exclusive or?
 
lumberg is the only one that is right therefore lumberg is smart and the rest of the people that answered are fuggin retarded. Its sorta like that but not quite

lol, well at least I got an answer. You can look forward to more of this. From now on I'm basing all life changing decisions on answers I get from here

LMAO!!! I use to actually ponder these types of issues.
 
In intro to logic you'll learn about fallacies like the red herring, ad hominem, crap like that.

take symbolic logic - that's the shit right there. Complex derivations, if/thens, either/ors
 
There's alot of people on EF who need to be introduced to logic.
