Study book for Logical Methods (in Norwegian)

This book is the perfect supplement to Logical Methods! It was created as a result of many years of teaching and experience with students' needs. The book has three main parts (and one extra part):

  • In the first part you will find for each chapter (1) a summary, (2) common mistakes, (3) tips and tricks and (4) test-yourself problems.
  • In the second part you will find a hundred new problems that are more broad than the problems from the textbook.
  • In the third part, you will find suggested solutions for all the problems with odd numbers in the textbook as well as suggested solutions for all the problems in the study book.
  • Finally, you will find a glossary of the 236 most important words from the textbook, with English translations, definitions and indications of the relevant chapters in the textbook. Finally, you will find an English-Norwegian dictionary.
