Description
Book SynopsisIntuitionistic logic is presented here as part of familiar classical logic which allows mechanical extraction of programs from proofs.
Trade Review`This is the most welcome addition to the literature on intuitionistic logic, providing a substantial reference of value comparable to that of better established references for classical mathematical logic. The development of Mints' book is natural, elegant and accessible, with a minimum of fuss but no lack of attention to important detail.
Overall, the book is an excellent addition to the literature.
