About This Book

A thorough, accessible, and rigorous presentation of the central theorems of mathematical logic . . . ideal for advanced students of mathematics, computer science, and logic Logic of Mathematics combines a full-scale introductory course in mathematical logic and model theory with a range of specially selected, more advanced theorems. Using a strict mathematical approach, this is the only book available that contains complete and precise proofs of all of these important theorems: * Gรถdel's theore

Our Review

This rigorous mathematical text offers a comprehensive journey through the foundational theorems of mathematical logic, presenting both introductory material and advanced results with exceptional clarity. The book systematically builds from first principles through model theory, culminating in complete proofs of landmark results including Gรถdel's incompleteness theorems. Its mathematical precision makes it particularly valuable for readers seeking authoritative treatment of formal logic systems and their limitations.

What distinguishes this work is its dual nature as both textbook and reference volume, providing accessible entry points while maintaining the formal rigor required for serious study. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics, computer science, and philosophy will find it indispensable for understanding the logical underpinnings of their fields. The thorough treatment of metamathematical concepts ensures readers emerge with deep structural understanding of what mathematical systems can and cannot prove.
