AI Thread Summary
Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem primarily falls under the branch of formal logic, demonstrating that no mathematical theory can simultaneously possess consistency, completeness, the ability to express integer arithmetic, and a computability condition on its axioms. The theorem's implications extend into philosophy, although its philosophical significance is often debated due to frequent misinterpretations. For those seeking to understand the theorem at an undergraduate level, thorough resources are essential. A list of recommended books is available at a provided link for further exploration. Understanding Gödel's work is crucial for grasping foundational concepts in logic and mathematics.

What branch of mathematics does Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem deal with?(I'm guessing Logic) and does anyone know any good books at the undergraduate level that would help to lay a foundation for understanding his theorem. I am "teaching myself" so the book(s) would need need to be fairly thorough. His theorem seems to be fairly important and my understanding of it is so poor.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Gödel's first incompleteness theorem is a theorem of formal logic -- it proves that no mathematical theory can have all four of the following list of properties:
1. Consistency
2. Completeness
3. Capable of fully expressing integer arithmetic
4. A computability condition on the set of axioms


Aside from certain topics in formal logic / computability theory, I believe it's only real use is in philosophy. Alas, it's so often misquoted that it's hard for me to tell if it's really important philosophically, or if it's just that the misquotes sound important.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
