A Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic

From the reviews of the third edition:

“Wolfgang Rautenberg’s A Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic is a pretty ambitious undertaking, seeing that at the indicated introductory level it covers ‘classical material … and Godel’s incompleteness theorems, as well as some topics motivated by applications, such as chapter on logic programming’ (from the Foreword by Lev Beklemishev). … The third edition … is a fine piece of scholarship and will more than repay the efforts of the committed student who chooses this means as an entry into modern mathematical logic.” (Michael Berg, The Mathematical Association of America, June, 2010)

“This is essentially the English translation of the third edition of the German version [Einführung in die mathematische Logik. Ein Lehrbuch. Wiesbaden: Vieweg+Teubner (2008; Zb1 1152.03-002)] of this well-written textbook … . The book remains one of the most recommendable introductions into mathematical logic for mathematicians, and well-suited for computer scientists too.” (Siegfried J. Gottwald, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1185, 2010)
