Recensione

' ... written by an excellent mathematician ... I very much like the way the author explains things.' European Mathematical Society

Descrizione del libro

This is an introduction to set theory and logic that starts completely from scratch. A rigorous axiomatic presentation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is given, demonstrating how the basic concepts of mathematics have apparently been reduced to set theory. This is followed by a presentation of propositional and first-order logic, and the author proves and explains the limitative results of Skolem, Tarski, Church and Gödel (the celebrated incompleteness theorems). For students of mathematics or philosophy this book provides an excellent introduction to logic and set theory.
