Book Description
This easy-to-follow textbook introduces the mathematical language, knowledge and problem-solving skills that undergraduates need to study computing. The language is in part qualitative, with concepts such as set, relation, function and recursion/induction; but it is also partly quantitative, with principles of counting and finite probability. Entwined with both are the fundamental notions of logic and their use for representation and proof. Features: teaches finite math as a language for thinking, as much as knowledge and skills to be acquired; uses an intuitive approach with a focus on examples for all general concepts; brings out the interplay between the qualitative and the quantitative in all areas covered, particularly in the treatment of recursion and induction; balances carefully the abstract and concrete, principles and proofs, specific facts and general perspectives; includes highlight boxes that raise common queries and clear confusions; provides numerous exercises, with selected solutions.

Sets, Logic and Categories
Author: Peter J. Cameron
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447105893
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Set theory, logic and category theory lie at the foundations of mathematics, and have a dramatic effect on the mathematics that we do, through the Axiom of Choice, Gödel's Theorem, and the Skolem Paradox. But they are also rich mathematical theories in their own right, contributing techniques and results to working mathematicians such as the Compactness Theorem and module categories. The book is aimed at those who know some mathematics and want to know more about its building blocks. Set theory is first treated naively an axiomatic treatment is given after the basics of first-order logic have been introduced. The discussion is su pported by a wide range of exercises. The final chapter touches on philosophical issues. The book is supported by a World Wibe Web site containing a variety of supplementary material.

Notes on Logic and Set Theory
Author: P. T. Johnstone
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521335027
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
A succinct introduction to mathematical logic and set theory, which together form the foundations for the rigorous development of mathematics. Suitable for all introductory mathematics undergraduates, Notes on Logic and Set Theory covers the basic concepts of logic: first-order logic, consistency, and the completeness theorem, before introducing the reader to the fundamentals of axiomatic set theory. Successive chapters examine the recursive functions, the axiom of choice, ordinal and cardinal arithmetic, and the incompleteness theorems. Dr. Johnstone has included numerous exercises designed to illustrate the key elements of the theory and to provide applications of basic logical concepts to other areas of mathematics.

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The text book 'Logic and Sets' designed as Skill Enhancement Course, has been written to include those chapters which are mentioned in the mathematics syllabus (CBCS) of all universities in India and Autonomous colleges. This book consists of three chapters that are; first chapter deals with mathematical logic and propositional logic or calculus, second chapter deals with sets and subsets, whereas the third chapter deals with relations and n-array relations. Basic ideas have been explained through some examples. It is hoped that the book will be found really useful to the students and teachers.
