Analysis and Logic Summary

Analysis and Logic by C. Ward Henson (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)

This volume comprises articles from four outstanding researchers who work at the cusp of analysis and logic. The emphasis is on active research topics; many results are presented that have not been published before and open problems are formulated. Considerable effort has been made by the authors to integrate their articles and make them accessible to mathematicians new to the area.
