In particular, the concepts of proof and truth are examined. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book presents the fundamental topics in mathematical logic and presents clear and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ecomplete proofs throughout the text. Such proofs are used to develop the language of \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003epropositional logic and the language of first-order logic, including the notion of a formal \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ededuction. The text also covers Tarski's definition of truth and the computability concept. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt also provides coherent proofs of Godel's completeness and incompleteness theorems. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoreover, the text was written with the student in mind and thus, it provides an accessible \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eintroduction to mathematical logic. In particular, the text explicitly shows the reader \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ehow to prove the basic theorems and presents detailed proofs throughout the book. Most \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eundergraduate books on mathematical logic are written for a reader who is well-versed \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ein logical notation and mathematical proof. This textbook is written to attract a wider \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eaudience, including students who are not yet experts in the art of mathematical proof. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDaniel W. Cunningham is a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at SUNY Buffalo State, a \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ecampus of the State University of New York. Daniel received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUCLA, specializing in mathematical logic. He currently teaches at California State University \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eat Fresno.
