    MATHEMATICAL LOGIC FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE
    2nd Edition

    by Lu Zhongwan (Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing)

    Mathematical logic is essentially related to computer science. This book describes the aspects of mathematical logic that are closely related to each other, including classical logic, constructive logic, and modal logic. This book is intended to attend to both the peculiarities of logical systems and the requirements of computer science.

    In this edition, the revisions essentially involve rewriting the proofs, increasing the explanations, and adopting new terms and notations.
