Description
Book SynopsisLogic is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church's contributions to number theory and theories of algorithms and computability laid the theoretical foundations of computer science. This book is a basic source for understanding formal logic.
Trade Review"This volume ... is a reprint of the revised 1956 version of this notable title first published in 1944 in the Annals of Mathematics Studies. Quite a pedigree ... [I]t is fitting that the release of this inexpensive reprint should make his masterly treatise available to everyone with an interest in the subject."--Australian & New Zealand Physicist
