Abstract

Symlog is a system for learning symbolic logic by computer. One of Symlog's components is a built-in theorem prover designed around a powerful, yet highly intuitive, set of proof construction strategies. Its role is to act as an advisor to students engaged in the construction of formal proofs in Fitch-style natural deduction systems of prepositional and predicate logic.
