Synopsis
A classic account of mathematical logic from a pioneering giant in the field
Logic is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church was a pioneer in the field of mathematical logic, whose contributions to number theory and the theories of algorithms and computability laid the theoretical foundations of computer science. His first Princeton book, The Calculi of Lambda-Conversion (1941), established an invaluable tool that computer scientists still use today.
Even beyond the accomplishment of that book, however, his second Princeton book, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, defined its subject for a generation. Originally published in Princeton's Annals of Mathematics Studies series, this book was revised in 1956 and reprinted a third time, in 1996, in the Princeton Landmarks in Mathematics series. Although new results in mathematical logic have been developed and other textbooks have been published, it remains, sixty years later, a basic source for understanding formal logic.
Church was one of the principal founders of the Association for Symbolic Logic; he founded the Journal of Symbolic Logic in 1936 and remained an editor until 1979. At his death in 1995, Church was still regarded as the greatest mathematical logician in the world.

About the Author
Alonzo Church (1903–1995) was a renowned mathematician, logician, and philosopher. Together with his student Alan Turing, he is considered one of the founders of computer science.
From the Back Cover
This book is intended to be used as a textbook by students of mathematics, and also within limitations as a reference work. As a textbook it offers a beginning course in mathematical logic, but presupposes some substantial mathematical background.
