Download or read book A Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic written by Wolfgang Rautenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are already several well known textbooks on mathematical logic this book is unique in treating the material in a concise and streamlined fashion. This allows many important topics to be covered in a one semester course. Although the book is intended for use as a graduate text the first three chapters can be understood by undergraduates interested in mathematical logic. The remaining chapters contain material on logic programming for computer scientists, model theory, recursion theory, Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems, and applications of mathematical logic. Philosophical and foundational problems of mathematics are discussed throughout the text.
