The Soul of STEM - Traditional Logic and Programming

In The Soul of STEM - Traditional Logic and Programming you will learn traditional logic and computer programming while gradually creating a simple text based story adventure game...Quest to Save the King's Frogs!

If you have never programmed before, you will be surprised at how much is involved behind the scenes to make such a simple game world "come alive" and be interactive.

Creating this game world will expose you to the fundamentals of computer programming: functions, conditionals, variables, collections and the idea of abstraction.

It will also expose you to the fundamentals of traditional logic: categorical and conditional propositions, modus ponens, hypothetical, and categorical syllogisms, and abstractions and instances of abstractions.

Along the way, the book introduces basic notions about the Christian natural law tradition, elements of which are "hidden in plain sight" behind the constructs of programming languages.

Adventurer beware! Rescuing the King's Frogs will not be easy! Your quest will take you to the abode of the wicked witch and past mischievous, talking trees awaiting unsuspecting travelers in the forest!
