This study of basic number systems explores natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. Written by a noted expert on logic and set theory, it assumes no background in abstract mathematical thought. Undergraduates and beginning graduate students will find this treatment an ideal introduction to number systems, particularly in terms of its detailed proofs.Starting with the basic facts and notions of logic and set theory, the text offers an axiomatic presentation of the simplest structure, the system of natural numbers. It proceeds, by set-theoretic methods, to an examination of integers that covers rings and integral domains, ordered integral domains, and natural numbers and integers of an integral domain. A look at rational numbers and ordered fields follows, along with a survey of the real number system that includes considerations of least upper bounds and greatest lower bounds, convergent and Cauchy sequences, and elementary topology. Numerous exercises and several helpful appendixes supplement the text.
The sixth edition of this classic textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to mathematical logic, featuring recent developments such as Gödel's second incompleteness theorem. It includes an appendix on consistency proofs for first-order arithmetic, enriching the learning experience with historical perspectives. Additionally, the book presents a variety of new exercises that cater to different skill levels, enhancing both understanding and application of mathematical logic concepts.
This book offers a clear and accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts and techniques of game theory. It is designed to help readers understand the strategic interactions among rational decision-makers, making complex ideas approachable for beginners. Through practical applications, it illustrates how game theory can be utilized in various fields, enhancing the reader's comprehension of competitive and cooperative scenarios.
