Prolog est un langage de programmation tout a fait original. -Prolog- est l'abreviation de -Programmation logique-, et le lien qu'il entretient avec la logique est ce qui lui donne sa specificite. Au coeur de Prolog, reside une idee surprenante: ne pas dire a l'ordinateur ce qu'il doit faire, mais lui decrire des situations, et lui faire faire des calculs en lui posant des questions. Prolog deduira alors logiquement de nouveaux faits concernant les situations, et donnera en reponse ses deductions. Pourquoi apprendre Prolog ? Tout d'abord, l'aspect -dis-moi quel est ton probleme au lieu de me...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Congress on Tools for Teaching Logic, TICTTL 2011, held in Salamanca, Spain, in June 2011. The 30 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The congress focusses on a variety of topics including: logic teaching software, teaching formal methods, logic in the humanities, dissemination of logic courseware and logic textbooks, methods for teaching logic at different levels of instruction, presentation of postgraduate programs in logic, e-learning, logic games, teaching argumentation theory and...

This modern, advanced textbook reviews modal logic, a field which caught the attention of computer scientists in the late 1970's. The development is mathematical; prior acquaintance with first-order logic and its semantics is assumed, and familiarity with the basic mathematical notions of set theory is required. The authors focus on the use of modal languages as tools to analyze the properties of relational structures, including their algorithmic and algebraic aspects. Applications to issues in logic and computer science such as completeness, computability and complexity are considered.
