Logic plays a central conceptual role in modern mathematics. However,
mathematical logic has grown into one of the most recondite areas of
mathematics. As a result, most of modern logic is inaccessible to all but the
specialist. This new book is a resource that provides a quick introduction and
review of the key topics in logic for the computer scientist, engineer, or
mathematician.
Handbook of Logic and Proof Techniques for Computer Science presents the
elements of modern logic, including many current topics, to the reader having
only basic mathematical literacy. Computer scientists will find specific
examples and important ideas such as axiomatics, recursion theory, decidability,
independence, completeness, consistency,
