Gert H. Muller The growth of the number of publications in almost all scientific areas, as in the area of (mathematical) logic, is taken as a sign of our scientifically minded culture, but it also has a terrifying aspect. In addition, given the rapidly growing sophistica tion, specialization and hence subdivision of logic, researchers, students and teachers may have a hard time getting an overview of the existing literature, partic ularly if they do not have an extensive library available in their neighbourhood: they simply do not even know what to ask for! More specifically, if someone vaguely knows that something vaguely connected with his interests exists some where in the literature, he may not be able to find it even by searching through the publications scattered in the review journals. Answering this challenge was and is the central motivation for compiling this Bibliography. The Bibliography comprises (presently) the following six volumes (listed with the corresponding Editors): I. Classical Logic W. Rautenberg II. Non-classical Logics W. Rautenberg III. Model Theory H. -D. Ebbinghaus IV. Recursion Theory P. G. Hinman V. Set Theory A. R. Blass VI. Proof Theory; Constructive Mathematics J. E. Kister; D. van Dalen & A. S. Troelstra.

Traditional logic as a part of philosophy is one of the oldest scientific disciplines and can be traced back to the Stoics and to Aristotle. Mathematical logic, however, is a relatively young discipline and arose from the endeavors of Peano, Frege, and others to create a logistic foundation for mathematics. It steadily developed during the twentieth century into a broad discipline with several sub-areas and numerous applications in mathematics, informatics, linguistics and philosophy. This book treats the most important material in a concise and streamlined fashion. The third edition is a thorough and expanded revision of the former. Although the book is intended for use as a graduate text, the first three chapters can easily be read by undergraduates interested in mathematical logic. These initial chapters cover the material for an introductory course on mathematical logic, combined with applications of formalization techniques to set theory. Chapter 3 is partly of descriptive nature, providing a view towards algorithmic decision problems, automated theorem proving, non-standard models including non-standard analysis, and related topics. The remaining chapters contain basic material on logic programming for logicians and computer scientists, model theory, recursion theory, Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, and applications of mathematical logic. Philosophical and foundational problems of mathematics are discussed throughout the text. Each section of the seven chapters ends with exercises some of which of importance for the text itself. There are hints to most of the exercises in a separate file Solution Hints to the Exercises which is not part of the book but is available from the author's website.
Dieses umfassende Lehrbuch wurde geschrieben fur Studenten und
Dozenten der Mathematik und Informatik, und wegen der ausfuhrlichen
Darstellung der Godelschen Unvollstandigkeitssatze auch fur
Fachstudenten der Philosophischen Logik.
Der Fortschritt der Aussagenlogik in jungster Zeit HiBt es sinnvoll erscheinen, einen breiteren Leserkreis mit dieser Entwicklung bekannt zu machen. Obwohl vorliegendes Buch als Lehrbuch, nicht als Monographie fUr einen engeren Spezialistenkreis konzipiert wurde, soli es in einigen Themen einen tieferen Einblick in den aktuellen Stand der Dinge vermitteln. Kap. lund ein Tei von Kap. II befassen sich mit der zweiwertigen Aussagenlogik und sind fUr Leser gedacht, die an Logik interessiert sind, doch noch nicht niiher mit ihr befaBt waren. Die etwas breitere Darstellung in diesen Teilen sollte allerdings kein falsches Bild von den wahren Proportionen entstehen lassen. Denn danach nimmt die zweiwertige Aussagenlogik nicht nur innerhalb der Logik insgesamt, sondern schon innerhalb der Aussagenlogik einen Platz ein, der vergleichbar ist mit dem der euklidischen Planimetrie im Rahmen der neueren Geometrie. Lesern mit ausreichenden Vorkennt nissen wird es nichts ausmachen, die anfanglichen Teile zu ubergehen und dort zu be ginnen, wo Aussagenlogik erst interessant zu werden beginnt, niimlich wo sie den Rahmen zweiwertiger Logik verliiBt."
