This fourth edition of one of the classic logic textbooks has
been thoroughly revised by John Burgess. The aim is to increase the
pedagogical value of the book for the core market of students of
philosophy and for students of mathematics and computer science as
well. This book has become a classic because of its accessibility
to students without a mathematical background, and because it
covers not simply the staple topics of an intermediate logic course
such as Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, but also a large number of
optional topics from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's
theorem. John Burgess has now enhanced the book by adding a
selection of problems at the end of each chapter, and by
reorganising and rewriting chapters to make them more independent
of each other and thus to increase the range of options available
to instructors as to what to cover and what to defer.
