introduction to symbolic logic

[Anonymous No.6912121]

Can any of you fa/sci/sts recommend me a good book for introduction to symbolic logic?
i would ask /lit/ but i get the feeling you might know better.
there's entirely too many results on amazon and i couldn't really find a recommendation online.

All I remember from my symbolic logic class before I dropped it (freshman, didn't realize what 400 level meant difficulty-wise) was the teacher emphasizing the difference between a thing and a label for that thing. 9 is just one symbol to represent the quantity.

Bob is a person. "Bob" (in quotes) is the name of that person. "My name is "Bob"" means your name is the name bob. "My name is Bob" means your name is the person Bob.

doesn't look like symbolic logic to me?
"My name is bob" would be something like "Nib"

a free book, basically

There is an "Introduction to Logic" by Copi and Cohen as well, that is very basic...yet it covers most of the concepts

I learned a lot from
http://www.personal.psu.edu/t20/notes/logic.pdf

from
http://www.personal.psu.edu/t20/notes/

(in fact I also read Wittgensteins Tractatus before and it influenced me too, although it's far away from being a mathematical book in the common sense)
