Logic and Structure

 (Google eBook)
Front Cover
6 Reviews
Springer, 2004 - Mathematics - 263 pages
This revised printing of Van Dalen's popular text improves an already acclaimed treatment of elementary classical logic. Suggestions and comments from readers have been adopted, a number of errors have been corrected, and some definitions have been streamlined. The 4th edition adds a chapter on the incompleteness of arithmetic, and useful information on basic recursion theory and arithmetic. In sum, it teaches logic to mathematicians in a clear, relaxed style.

User Review - Flag as inappropriate

In 1985-1986 I followed some courses on logic at Utrecht University from the author himself. I like the book. The fourth edition is the best one.

User Review - Flag as inappropriate

I took a course in Logic several years ago at Stockholm University (Kräftriket). This book was used in the course material. I still remember how annoyed it made me due to all the misprints. I will refrain from rating it, in the hope that more recent versions have made the necessary corrections. All I can say is that the book I remember was a piece of crap. Thankfully I had other sources to tap from, or I never would have passed the course.
