Mathematical logic is a fundamental tool in computer science which has wide and significant applications. Recently, there has been a move towards using logic as a programming language, and the considerable interest in Prolog can be seen as a step in this direction. Although formal logic is clearly a fundamental part of any degree programme, most of the current texts are designed for third year undergraduate or postgraduate mathematicians. This text is designed specifically for undergraduates and, together with "A First Course in Formal Language Theory" and "A First Course in Computability", both by V.J. Rayward-Smith, it covers the important theory which should be in any computer science degree course.
