An Introduction to Metalogic by Aladdin M Yaqub

An Introduction to Metalogicis a uniquely accessible introduction to the metatheory of first-order predicate logic. No background knowledge of logic is presupposed, as the book is entirely self-contained and clearly defines all of the technical terms it employs. Yaqub begins with an introduction to predicate logic and ends with detailed outlines of the proofs of the incompleteness, undecidability, and indefinability theorems, covering many related topics in between.

Aladdin M. Yaqub is Professor of Philosophy at Lehigh University and the author of An Introduction to Metalogic, The Liar Speaks the Truth, and a new translation of Al-Ghazali's Moderation in Belief.
