The requirement to reason logically forms the basis of all mathematics, and hence mathematical logic is one of the most fundamental topics that students will study. Assuming no prior knowledge of the topic, this book provides an accessible introduction for advanced undergraduate students.

This compilation of papers presented at the 2000 European Summer Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic marks the centennial anniversary of Hilbert's famous lecture. Held in the same hall at La Sorbonne where Hilbert first presented his famous problems, this meeting carries special significance to the Mathematics and Logic communities. The presentations include tutorials and research articles from some of the world's preeminent logicians. Three long articles are based on tutorials given at the meeting, and present accessible expositions of developing research in three active areas of logic: model theory, computability, and set theory. The eleven subsequent articles cover separate research topics in many areas of mathematical logic, including: aspects of Computer Science, Proof Theory, Set Theory, Model Theory, Computability Theory, and aspects of Philosophy.

Logic forms the basis of mathematics and is a fundamental part of any mathematics course. This book provides students with a clear and accessible introduction to this important subject, using the concept of model as the main focus and covering a wide area of logic. The chapters of the book cover propositional calculus, boolean algebras, predicate calculus and completelness theorems with answeres to all of the exercises and the end of the volume. This is an ideal introduction to mathematics and logic for the advanced undergraduate student.
