Mathematical Logic and Computation

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Avigad provides a much needed introduction to mathematical logic that foregrounds the role of syntax and computability in our understanding of consistency and inconsistency. The result provides a jumping off point to any of the fields of modern logic, not only teaching the technical groundwork, but also providing a window into how to think like a logician.' Henry Towsner, University of Pennsylvania 'This book by one of the most knowledgeable researchers in the field covers a remarkably broad selection of material without sacrificing depth. Its clear organization and unified approach - focused on a syntactic approach and on the role of computation - make it suitable for a wide range of introductory logic sequences at the upper-level undergraduate and graduate level, as well as a valuable resource for background material in more advanced logic courses.' Denis Hirschfeldt, University of Chicago '... an excellent addition to the literature, with plenty more than enough divergences and side-steps from the more well-trodden paths through the material to be consistently interesting ... this is most certainly a book to make sure your library gets.' Peter Smith, Logic Matters
