I’m a professor of philosophy at the University of Calgary, in Canada. I’m working on an open textbook for mathematical logic geared at a non-mathematical audience (mainly, philosophy students). It lives at http://openlogicproject.org/. I’m also in the process of adapting an existing open introductory logic text for our first logic class, together with my grad student Aaron Thomas-Bolduc.

I’ve also been active in OER more generally, serving on my University’s OER Working Group and the Alberta OER Community of Practice.

Hi Richard, and welcome! Your Open Logic Project looks really interesting. Great to have you here.

That’s great! Are you referring to forall x or is there a different existing OER logic textbook for you to use as a starting point?

@stevefoerster yes, the Cambridge version of forall x is our starting point. We’ll document the process on openlogicproject.org see eg http://openlogicproject.org/2016/10/18/choosing-an-open-introductory-logic-text/

@rzach Oh, that’s neat. Many thanks for pointing me towards that, as understanding the thought processes of others is very helpful to us.
