Description
This volume presents reverse mathematics to a general mathematical audience for the first time. Stillwell gives a representative view of this field, emphasizing basic analysis--finding the right axioms to prove fundamental theorems--and giving a novel approach to logic. to logic.
The first book surveying the history and ideas behind reverse mathematics Reverse mathematics is a new field that seeks to find the axioms needed to prove given theorems. In Reverse Mathematics, John Stillwell offers a historical and representative view, emphasizing basic analysis and giving a novel approach to logic. By using a minimum of mathematical logic in a well-motivated way, Reverse Mathematics will engage advanced undergraduates and all mathematicians interested in the foundations of mathematics.
