Book Description | this work makes available to readers without specialized training in mathematics complete proofs of the fundamental metatheorems of standard (i. E., basically truth functional) first order logic. Included is a complete proof, accessible to non mathematicians, of the undecidability of first order logic, the most important fact about logic to emerge from the work of the last half century. Hunter explains concepts of mathematics and set theory along the way for the benefit of non mathematicians. He also provides ample exercises with comprehensive answers. Review"a remarkable book, in a class by itself among logic books. It has the ideal combination of readability, thoroughness, and preciseness. Recommended not only as a first course text, but also as painless, indeed pleasurable reading. " "computing reviews. |
