PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Aladdin M. Yaqub (Author)
The meta-theory of classical logic is presented with unparalleled clarity in this rigorous new book.
Back Jacket
An Introduction to Metalogic is a uniquely accessible introduction to the metatheory of first-order predicate logic. No background knowledge of logic is presupposed, as the book is entirely self-contained and clearly defines all of the technical terms it employs. Yaqub begins with an introduction to predicate logic and ends with detailed outlines of the proofs of the incompleteness, undecidability, and indefinability theorems, covering many related topics in between.
Author Biography
