In this chapter, we first look at the syntactic rules for the language of Propositional Logic. We then look at semantic interpretation for the expressions specified by these rules. Given this semantics, we define the concept of propositional entailment, which identifies for us, at least in principle ...
5.5 Rules of Inference Here are some examples of sound rules of inference. Each can be shown to be sound once and for all using a truth table. The left column contains the premise sentence(s), and the right column contains the derived sentence.

A First Look at Propositional Logic Andreas Klappenecker There are many reasons why a computer scientist should study logic. ... The right hand side of both derivation rules consists of terminal symbols alone, so one cannot apply further derivation rules.
Natural Deduction for Propositional Logic Dr. Mark Lee mgl@cs.bham.ac.uk Introduction Last week we introduced an annotation for proofs and a set of arbitrary inference rules.
Additionally, topics in symbolic logic, fallacies and inductive reasoning are developed. the topics covered include basic concepts; inductive and deductive arguments; informal fallacies; categorical propositions; categorical syllogisms; propositional logic, natural deduction and the "rules of inference ...
