This book offers a concise introduction to both proof-theory and
algebraic methods, the core of the syntactic and semantic study of
logic respectively. The importance of combining these two has been
increasingly recognized in recent years. It highlights the
contrasts between the deep, concrete results using the former and
the general, abstract ones using the latter. Covering modal logics,
many-valued logics, superintuitionistic and substructural logics,
together with their algebraic semantics, the book also provides an
introduction to nonclassical logic for undergraduate or graduate
level courses.The book is divided into two parts: Proof Theory in
Part I and Algebra in Logic in Part II. Part I presents sequent
systems and discusses cut elimination and its applications in
detail. It also provides simplified proof of cut elimination,
making the topic more accessible. The last chapter of Part I is
devoted to clarification of the classes of logics that are
discussed in the second part. Part II focuses on algebraic
semantics for these logics. At the same time, it is a gentle
introduction to the basics of algebraic logic and universal algebra
with many examples of their applications in logic. Part II can be
read independently of Part I, with only minimum knowledge required,
and as such is suitable as a textbook for short introductory
courses on algebra in logic.
