It introduces all necessary analytical and mathematical tools to discuss basic inference rules of binary resolution and binary factoring. Two computer programs and source code are provided to use as examples. Advanced students, professionals and researchers in computer science, computer engineering, artificial intelligence and logic programming will find the book a useful text/reference.
Learn about automated theorem proving in one weekend
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
So you wanted to know how automated theorem proving algorithms work? This is a "hands on" book that tells you just that and gives you the sources of a program that implements these algorithms. The book is a cross between giving you theory and telling you about the included programs. As such it is a fast read and is great to learn the basic concepts. Its short comings are that you sometimes need to reread a paragraph a few times because it is written in a fairly terse style. The code is meant to work under unix but compiles and run well under windows visual C++ although one program does not work fully (COMPILE).
