Introduction to Mathematical Logic, 6th Edition (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications) – eBook

The new edition of this classic book, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, 6^th Edition explores the principal topics of mathematical logic. It covers propositional logic, 1^st-order number theory, axiomatic set theory, 1^st order logic, and the theory of computability. The textbook also discusses the major results of Gödel, Church, Rosser, Turing and Kleene, .

The 6th edition incorporates recent work on Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem as well as restoring an appendix on consistency proofs for first-order arithmetic.

“Since it first appeared in 1964, Mendelson’s book has been recognized as an excellent textbook in the field. It is one of the most frequently mentioned textbooks in references and recommended reading lists … This book rightfully belongs in the elite, small, set of superb textbooks that every computer science graduate, graduate student, scientist, and teacher should be familiar with.”
