Geared toward college undergraduates new to the subject, this concise introduction to formal logic was written by Alice Ambrose and Morris Lazerowitz, a pair of noted scholars and prolific authors in this field. A preliminary section opens the subject under the heading of truth-functions. Two subsequent parts on quantification and classes, each subdivided into numerous brief specifics, complete the overview.

(The problem of necessity remains one of the central issue...)
The problem of necessity remains one of the central issues in modern philosophy. The authors of this volume, originally published in 1985, developed a new approach to the problem, which focusses on the logical grammar of necessary propositions. This volume gathers their seminal essays on the problem of necessity, together with new material at the original time publication.

Alice Ambrose was born on November 25, 1906, in Lexington, Illinois, United States. She was orphaned at the age of thirteen.
Alice Ambrose studied at Millikin University where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. Later she entered the University of Wisconsin–Madison where she received a Master of Arts degree in 1929 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1932. Ambrose also attended the University of Cambridge and received her second Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1938.
Alice Ambrose started her career as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in 1935. She held this post until 1937 and then became an assistant professor at Smith College. In 1943, she became a full professor and in 1951 Ambrose became Sophia and Austin Smith Professor of Philosophy and held this post until 1972.
Alice Ambrose wrote many books on philosophy together with her husband Morris Lazerowitz. Their first book Fundamentals of symbolic logic was published in 1948. Later Ambrose wrote such books as Essays in Analysis, Philosophical Theories and Necessity and Language. She also was an editor of the Journal of Symbolic Logic from 1953 to 1968.

1985Alice Ambrose was a student of Ludwig Wittgenstein and his works significantly influenced her. She argued that philosophical theories typically consist of disguised linguistic claims. The rival claims of, for instance, Platonists and conventionalists about mathematics consist of concealed revisions of language whose aim is to justify the description of mathematics as discovery, or as creation. Such recommendations are typically supported by misleading analogies between the languages of mathematics and empirical facts. Progress is, therefore, to be made by detailed attention to the actual grammar of the language.
Alice Ambrose married Morris Lazerowitz in 1938.
