Its variants constitute natural generalizations and extensions of classical formalisms. For example, Prepositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) can be described as a blend of three complementary classical ingredients: prepositional calculus, modal logic, and the algebra of regular events. In First-Order Dynamic Logic (DL), the prepositional calculus is replaced by classical first-order predicate calculus. Dynamic Logic is a system of remarl~ble unity t h a t is theoretically rich as well as of practical v'~lue. It can be used for formalizing correctness specifications and proving rigorously t h a t those specifications are met by a particular program. Other uses include determining the equlv'~lence of programs, comparing the expressive power of various programming constructs, and synthesizing programs from specifications. This book provides
