Volume II, on formal (ZFC) set theory, incorporates a self-contained "chapter 0" on proof techniques so that it is based on formal logic, in the style of Bourbaki. The emphasis on basic techniques provides a solid foundation in set theory and a thorough context for the presentation of advanced topics (such as absoluteness, relative consistency results, two expositions of Godel's construstive universe, numerous ways of viewing recursion and Cohen forcing).
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Meant as a text in an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course in mathematics, computer science, or philosophy, this two-volume work is written in a user-friendly conversational lecture style that makes it equally effective for self-study or class use.Volume I 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.
"many readers, especially those with a philosophical bent, will find this book a good choice for the classroom." - Richard E. Hodel, Duke University
