This work makes available to readers without specialized training in mathematics complete proofs of the fundamental metatheorems of standard (i.e., basically truth-functional) first order logic. Included is a complete proof, accessible to non-mathematicians, of the undecidability of first order logic, the most important fact about logic to emerge from the work of the last half-century.

Hunter explains concepts of mathematics and set theory along the way for the benefit of non-mathematicians. He also provides ample exercises with comprehensive answers.

Industry Reviews

"A remarkable book, in a class by itself among logic books. It has the ideal combination of readability, thoroughness, and preciseness. . . . Recommended not only as a first course text, but also as painless, indeed pleasurable reading."--"Computing Reviews
