Böcker av Martin Goldstern

The book should interest everyone from mathematicians to philosophers and readers who wish to understand the foundations and limitations of rational thinking. It is used as a textbook at major colleges and universities but lends itself to self-study as well.

Designed to be the foundation for a two-term course, this book investigates mathematical logic. The basic premise of mathematical logic is that every reasonable mathematical system is intrinsically incomplete. This premise forms the basis of Godel's famous incompleteness theorem.
