Description
Oxford University Press Mathematical Logic: Part 2 : Recursion Theory Godel'S Theorems Set Theory Model Theory by Rene Cori , Daniel Lascar , Translated by Donald Pelletier
Logic forms the basis of mathematics, and is hence a fundamental part of any mathematics course. It is a major element in theoretical computer science and has undergone a huge revival with the every- growing importance of computer science. This text is based on a course to 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 whilst stillcovering a wide area of logic. The foundations having been laid in Part I, this book starts with recursion theory, a topic essential for the complete scientist. Then follows Godels incompleteness theorems and axiomatic set theory. Chapter 8 provides an introduction to model theory. There areexamples throughout each section, and varied selection of exercises at the end. Answers to the exercises are given in the appendix.show more
