Lectures in Logic and Set Theory

Volume 1: Mathematical Logic
George Tourlakis, York University, Toronto
September 2010
1. Mathematical Logic
Paperback
9780521168465

    This two-volume work bridges the gap between introductory expositions of logic (or set theory) and the research literature. It can be used as a text in an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course in mathematics, computer science, or philosophy. The volumes are written in a user-friendly lecture style that makes them equally effective for self-study or class use. Volume I includes formal proof techniques, applications of compactness (including nonstandard analysis), computability and its relation to the completeness phenonmenon, and the first presentation of a complete proof of Godel's 2nd incompleteness since Hilbert and Bernay's Grundlagen.

    •  User-friendly extensive discussion of issues that arise at the interface of axiomatics and mathematical 'reality'
    •  A complete proof of Godel's 2nd incompleteness theorem
    •  A thorough foundation of Nonstandard Analysis

    Reviews & endorsements

    "A thorough and complete resource for "one of the most remarkable theorems of logic." George Tourlakis' Mathematical Logic is a highly worthwhile addition the the literature."
    Robert Mignone, The Review of Modern Logic
