Description

This two-volume work bridges the gap between introductory expositions of logic or set theory on one hand, and the research literature on the other.

It can be used as a text in an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course in mathematics, computer science, or philosophy.

The volumes are written in a user-friendly conversational lecture style that makes them equally effective for self-study or class use.

Volume 1 includes formal proof techniques, a section on applications of compactness (including nonstandard analysis), a generous dose of computability and its relation to the incompleteness phenomenon, and the first presentation of a complete proof of Godel's 2nd incompleteness since Hilbert and Bernay's Grundlagen theorem.
