gives basics for automated reasoning

I found this book to be an excellent reference for automated reasoning. It covers resolution and unification in great detail. It also covers Knuth-Bendix procedure for equational logic. I used this book as a starting point to learning about automated reasoning and logic in AI.I recommend this book for anyone who is just beginning to learn about automated reasoning.The one suggestion that I have to anyone reading this book is to review your abstract algebrea and set theory. Although this books does introduce and cover abstract algebra basics, anohter reference is useful. As for set theory, try Schaum's Outline on Set Theory as an intro or a refresher.
