Gentzen-Prawitz Natural Deduction as a Teaching Tool

Logic in Computer Science 2009-07-22 v1

Abstract

We report a four-years experiment in teaching reasoning to undergraduate students, ranging from weak to gifted, using Gentzen-Prawitz's style natural deduction. We argue that this pedagogical approach is a good alternative to the use of Boolean algebra for teaching reasoning, especially for computer scientists and formal methods practionners.
