Review

'... gives an excellent coverage of the fundamental theoretical results about logic involving computability, undecidability, axiomatization, definability, incompleteness, etc.' American Math Monthly

'The writing style is excellent: although many explanations are formal, they are perfectly clear. Modern, elegant proofs help the reader understand the classic theorems and keep the book to a reasonable length.' Computing Reviews

'... a valuable asset to those who want to enhance their knowledge and strengthen their ideas in the areas of artificial intelligence, philosophy, theory of computing, discrete structures, mathematical logic. It is also useful to teachers for improving their teaching style in these subjects.' Computer Engineering

Book Description

Now in its fourth edition, this book has become a classic because it covers not simply the staple topics of intermediate logic courses but also a large number of other topics. John Burgess has enhanced the book by adding problems at the end of each chapter and by rewriting chapters.
