Book ·
OSTI ID:7204034

Of the languages of symbolic logic, typed lambda-calculus (a formation of higher-order logic) is the most suitable for use in automated mathematical systems. This book begins with a study of propositional calculus and first-order logic, then provides a complete introduction to typed lambda-calculus. CONTENTS: Introduction. Propositional Calculus. First-Order Logic. Probability and Refutability. Further Topics in First-Order Logic. Type Theory. Formalized Number Theory. Incompleteness and Undecidability. Appendix: Summary of Theorems. Bibliography. Index.
