Product Description
Review
"This text is based on a course to undergraduates and gives a clear and accessible introduction to mathematical logic. The concept of model provides the underlying theme, giving the text a theoretical coherence whilst still covering a wide area of logic. The first chapter considers propositional calculus; then Boolean algebras follow; Chapter 3 covers predicate calculus and this is followed by completeness theorems. Large numbers of examples appear throughout the text and each chapter concludes with a selection of exercises to reinforce the student's understanding. Answers to the exercises are given in an appendix."--L'Enseignement Math matique
"I have always been especially fond of logic. The two-volume Mathematical Logic: A Course with Exercises is a comprehensive introductory course that is distinguished by clarity of exposition and a large number of exercises with thorough solutions. Each volume is about 330 pages long, 80 of which are solutions!"The Bulletin of Mathemati
Product Description
Logic forms the basis of mathematics, and is hence a fundamental part of any mathematics course. In particular, it is a major element in theoretical computer science and has undergone a huge revival with the explosion of interest in computers and computer science. This book provides students with a clear and accessible introduction to this important subject. The concept of model underlies the whole book, giving the text a theoretical coherence whilst still covering a wide area of logic.

Format:Paperback
Vol I and Vol II are the clearest intros to the subject of mathematical logic that I've come across. That the authors cover the technical detail while maintaining clarity and readability is a true marvel. All text books should be this good.
