Description

Logic forms the basis of mathematics, and is hence a fundamental part of any mathematics course.

It is a major element in theoretical computer science and has undergone a huge revival with the every- growing importance of computer science.

This text is based on a course to undergraduates and provides a clear and accessible introduction to mathematical logic.

The concept of model provides the underlying theme, giving the text a theoretical coherence whilst still covering a wide area of logic.

The foundations having been laid in Part I, this book starts with recursion theory, a topic essential for the complete scientist.

Then follows Godel's incompleteness theorems and axiomatic set theory.

Chapter 8 provides an introduction to model theory. There are examples throughout each section, and varied selection of exercises at the end.

Answers to the exercises are given in the appendix.
