Foundations of Mathematical Logic: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Foundations of Mathematical Logic" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book is a thoroughly documented and comprehensive account of the constructive theory of the first-order predicate calculus. This is a calculus that is central to modern mathematical logic and important for mathematicians, philosophers, and scientists whose work impinges upon logic.
Professor Curry begins by asking a simple question: What is mathematical logic? If we can define logic as the analysis and criticism of thought (W. E. Johnson), then mathematical logic is, according to Curry, a branch of mathematics which has much the same relation to the analysis and criticism of thought as geometry does to the science of space.
The first half of the book gives the basic principles and outlines of the field. After a general introduction to the subject, the author discusses formal methods including algorithms and epitheory. A brief treatment of the Markov treatment of algorithms is included here. The elementary facts about lattices and similar algebraic systems are then covered. In the second half of the book Curry investigates the possibility for a formulation that expresses the meaning to be attached to the logical connectives and to develop the properties that follow from the assumptions so motivated. The author covers positive connectives: implication, conjunction, and alternation. He then goes on to negation and quantification, and concludes with modal operations. Extensive use is made in these latter chapters of the work of Gentzen. Lists of exercises are included.
Haskell B. Curry, Evan Pugh Research Professor, Emeritus, at Pennsylvania State University, was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton; a former Director of the Institute for Foundational Research, the University of Amsterdam; and President of the Association for Symbolic Logic. His book avoids a doctrinaire stance, presenting various interpretations of logical systems, and offers philosophical and reflective as well as mathematical perspectives.

Table of Contents

BIBLIOGRAPHY

This bibliography is intended to list only items cited in the text. Citations are made by authors name and abbreviated title in brackets. These abbreviated titles are listed here alphabetically under each author, except that abbreviations beginning with rev, which refer to reviews, are listed after the other works by the same author.

In the case of joint authors, the group of authors is considered as a new author. When it is not desirable to mention all the authors, the abbreviation et al . is used; this means that the work referred to is by the author mentioned and one or more others. Cross references to the additional authors will be made through the index.

A citation without an authors name (expressed or implied) is to a work by Curry, or in the case of [CLg], Curry and Feys. In the case of cross references in this bibliography, however, the reference is to another work by the same author, unless otherwise indicated.

Ordinarily the initials of the given names of the authors are not given in making citations. They may be found from this bibliography. In the cases where the initials do not suffice for identification, the given names are stated.

When a work contains two or more volumes, or otherwise detached parts, reference to a particular volume or part is made by putting the volume or part number inside the brackets after a period. Different editions of the same work are distinguished by numerical subscripts. Thus, under Whitehead and Russell, [PMt.I2] is the second edition of the first volume of [PMt]. Occasionally this device is used to distinguish works which have the same title, even though they are scarcely different editions of the same work.

References to parts of a work are made either by page numbers or the natural divisions of the work cited. Such references are frequently included in the brackets.

Journals are abbreviated according to the practice of Mathematical Reviews (see vol. 19, pp. 14171430, and similar lists in earlier volumes). When Mathematical Reviews does not list a journal, an abbreviation is used that conforms to their practice in principle.

In referring to parts of journals, the volume number is written first, then a colon, then the page numbers, then (in parentheses) the presumed date of publication. Everyone knows that the actual date of publication is sometimes difficult to determine. In such cases the best information available has been used, but an exhaustive inquiry has not been made.

In transliterating Russian, the system described in Math. Rev., :1433, and ascribed to Science Abstracts, has been followed. This requires fewer special letters than other systems.
