For an intro text, I always like to recommend The Logic Book.

And I think the best term you're looking for is "modern symbolic logic." Modal logic is part of modern symbolic logic (the part dealing with necessity and possibility), but best to get a handle on sentential and predicate logic first...

This is how I learned logic, for computer science.

First chapter of this Discrete mathematics book in my discrete math class

Then, using The Logic Book for a formal philosophy logic 1 course.

The second book was horrid on itself, luckily my professor's academic lineage goes back to Tarski. He's an amazing Professor and knows how to teach...that was a god send. Ironically, he dropped the text and I see that someone has posted his openbook project.

The first book (first chapter), is too applied I imagine for your needs. It would also only be economically feasible if well, you disregarded copyright law and got a "free" PDF of it.

That doesn't follow.

I know this is insanely expensive (you can probably find a free copy somewhere on the internet--shh) I used this textbook for symbolic logic and advanced mathematical logic.

Best introduction to logic is The Logic Book.
