I need recommendations for a good, fundamental text in resolution-based automated theorem proving. Something a beginner in this area can get through. Please respond by e-mail only, as I don't read this group. Thanks in advance the vic Dave Iannucci \ Dept of Computer Science \ SUNY at Stony Brook, Long Island, NY ARPA-Internet: dji@sbcs.sunysb.edu / CSNet: dji@suny-sb / ICBM: 40 55 N 73 08 W UUCP: {allegra, philabs, pyramid, research}!sbcs!dji or ....bpa!sjuvax!iannucci

Thanks to all who responded to my request for suggested books on resolution-based theorem proving. Sorry, but I didn't get a chance to respond to all personally. Anyway, here are the results, for those who are interested. Almost all the votes were for one or both of the following two books (and they got about equal numbers of votes): _Automated Reasoning: Introduction and Applications_ by Wos, Overbeek, Lusk, and Boyle Prentice-Hall 1984 _Symbolic Logic and Mechanical Theorem Proving_ by Chang and Lee Academic Press 1973 also got a few votes for: _Computer Modelling of Mathematical Reasoning_ by Allan Bundy Academic Press 1983 Thanks again the vic Dave Iannucci \ Dept of Computer Science \ SUNY at Stony Brook, Long Island, NY ARPA-Internet: dji@sbcs.sunysb.edu / CSNet: dji@suny-sb / ICBM: 40 55 N 73 08 W UUCP: {allegra, philabs, pyramid, research}!sbcs!dji or ....bpa!sjuvax!iannucci
