Synopsis
Now in its fourth edition, this book has become a classic because of its accessibility to students without a mathematical background, and because it covers not only the staple topics of an intermediate logic course such as Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, but also a large number of optional topics from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's theorem. John Burgess has enhanced the book by adding a selection of problems at the end of each chapter.

Book Description
Now in its fourth edition, this book has become a classic because of its accessibility to tudents without a mathematical background, and because it covers not simply the staple topics of an intermediate logic course such as Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, but also a large number of optional topics from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's theorem. John Burgess has now enhanced the book by adding a selection of problems at the end of each chapter, and by reorganising and rewriting chapters to make them more independent of each other.
Review
"The writing style is excellent: although many explanations are formal, they are perfectly clear. Modern, elegant proofs help the reader understand the classic theorems and keep the book to a reasonable length." Computing Reviews
