Praise for the Fifth Edition"Since it first appeared in 1964, Mendelson's book has been recognized as an excellent textbook in the field … This book rightfully belongs in the small, elite set of superb books that every computer science graduate, graduate student, scientist, and teacher should be familiar with."—Computing Reviews"Since its first edition, this fine book has been a text of choice for a beginner’s course on mathematical logic … There are many fine books on mathematical logic, but Mendelson’s textbook remains a sure choice for a first course for its clear explanations and organization…"—MAA Reviews"[This book] is the most concise and readable introductory text I have ever encountered … I have pulled the ideas for many test questions from it over the years."—Charles Ashbacher, Upper Iowa University
