BULLETIN OF MATHEMATICS BOOKS

"…a well written introduction to logic, with a good dose of set theory (introduction to ordinals and cardinals) and a small dose of categories at the end(I read this one cover to cover.)"

Peter Cameron is an author from the United States who has taught at colleges such as Columbia, Sarah Lawrence, and Yale. Some of his short pieces appeared in The New Yorker before he published his first book. Since then, he has written seven books.
