- It was me that asked whether logic should be a compulsary subject.
-
- For many years I have done a little Boolean algebra, but only this
- summer have I even learned of syllogisms, and am indeed amazed that
- I could be a graduate without not having learned of syllogisms and
- their rules as part of general education.
-
- Can I ask please, is syllogisms and the like what sci.logic is about,
- or am I missing something fundamental.
-
- Please post replies, as I am sure that there may be other people in
- the same position.
