The foundations of mathematics include mathematical logic, set theory, recursion theory, model theory, and Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Professor Wolf provides here a guide that any interested reader with some post-calculus experience in mathematics can read, enjoy, and learn from. It could also serve as a textbook for courses in the foundations of mathematics, at the undergraduate or graduate level. The book is deliberately less structured and more user-friendly than standard texts on foundations, so will also be attractive to those outside the classroom environment wanting to learn about the subject.
- Could be used as a text in any course in mathematical logic or set theory, undergraduate or graduate
- Provides a 'tour' through the main branches of the foundations of mathematics
- This book is deliberately less structured and more user-friendly than standard texts on this subject
