Synopsis

Logic forms the basis of mathematics, and is hence a fundamental part of any mathematics course,. It is a major element in theoretical computer sciences and has undergone a huge revival with the growing importance of computer science. This text is based on a course for 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 while still covering a wide area of logic. It starts with recursion theory and follows Godel's incompleteness theorems and axiomatic set theory as well as an introduction to model theory. There are examples throughout each section and a varied selection of exercises at the end with answers given in the appendix.
