Textbook in PDF format

One of the leitmotifs of writing the first edition of our book was the observation that most logics used in the design, specification and verification of computer systems fundamentally deal with a satisfaction relation M φ where M is some sort of situation or model of a system, and φ is a specification, a formula of that logic, expressing what should be true in situation M. At the heart of this set-up is that one can often specify and implement algorithms for computing. We developed this theme for propositional, first-order, temporal, modal, and program logics. Based on the encouraging feedback received from five continents we are pleased to hereby present the second edition of this text which means to preserve and improve on the original intent of the first edition
