DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Luis Gomez The book is affordable and pretty much identical to both the 5th and 6th editions.. twisted pants unleashed on men M. J. De This is one of the more popular introductory textbooks on mathematical logic, with Enderton's being its biggest competitor. I prefer Mendelson's for its breadth of material and the choice of proofs he uses, which are generally the most intuitive (e.g. Kalmar's for the completeness of the propositional calculus). This is not to say that they are always constructive, as they many of them are in the older texts (e.g. Kleene, Introduction to . "Wonderful at the second glance." according to Agahi Sama. Mendelson's Introduction to Mathematical Logic was the textbook for a logic-course I took a couple of years ago. At the time I did not like the book at all. It seemed too difficult and so typographically ugly that I thought I would never use it. Things have changed though. Now, I keep it close at hand on my desk and use it almost every day. Technical questions that used to require a trip to the library and several different books to answe
- Alan BergerIn my work as a math teacher, researcher, author and journal editor, I often encounter problems with a logical component. The buyer will not be disappointed.-Joseph Jay Stern . Mendelson's precise yet easy style, and the beautifully efficient organization of the subjects. I was, and continue to be, astonished by Dr. In my opinion, it's the best introduction to serious mathematical logic currently on the market, and thanks to the genius of its author, it is likely to remain so for a long time. It is the most concise and readable introductory text I have ever encountered and it is a rare occasion when I fail to find the background material needed to solve the problem. When that need arises, my first choice of reference is always this book. Nearly forty years after it was published (1964), E
Logic and computability theory have also become indispensable tools in theoretical computer science, including artificial intelligence. The text contains numerous exercises and an appendix furnishes answers to many of them.Introduction to Mathematical Logic includes:propositional logicfirst-order logicfirst-order number theory and the incompleteness and undecidability theorems of Gödel, Rosser, Church, and Tarskiaxiomatic set theorytheory of computabilityThe study of mathematical logic, axiomatic set theory, and computability theory provides an understanding of the fundamental assumptions and proof techniques that form basis of mathemat
