Automated Theorem Proving: Theory and Practice

So you wanted to know how automated theorem proving algorithms work? This is a "hands on" book that tells you just that and gives you the sources of a program that implements these algorithms. The book is a cross between giving you theory and telling you about the included programs. As such it is a fast read and is great to learn the basic concepts. Its short comings are that you sometimes need to reread a paragraph a few times because it is written in a fairly terse style. The code is meant to work under unix but compiles and run well under windows visual C++ although one program does not work fully (COMPILE).
