Kurt Godel, the greatest logician of our time, startled the world
of mathematics in 1931 with his Theorem of Undecidability, which
showed that some statements in mathematics are inherently
"undecidable." His work on the completeness of logic, the
incompleteness of number theory, and the consistency of the axiom
of choice and the continuum theory brought him further worldwide
fame. In this introductory volume, Raymond Smullyan, himself a
well-known logician, guides the reader through the fascinating
world of Godel's incompleteness theorems. The level of presentation
is suitable for anyone with a basic acquaintance with mathematical
logic. As a clear, concise introduction to a difficult but
essential subject, the book will appeal to mathematicians,
philosophers, and computer scientists.
