Product Description
An Introduction to Metalogic is a uniquely accessible introduction to the metatheory of first-order predicate logic. No background knowledge of logic is presupposed, as the book is entirely self-contained and clearly defines all of the technical terms it employs. Yaqub begins with an introduction to predicate logic, and ends with detailed outlines of the proofs of the incompleteness, undecidability, and indefinability theorems. Many other topics are covered: expressive completeness, the basics of set theory, infinite cardinalities, Cantor's Theorems, the Soundness and Completeness Theorems, Turing machines, the Halting Problem, predicate logic theories and their properties, elementary equivalence, isomorphism, Peano Arithmetic, second-order predicate logic, and more.
