What are some recommended books on mathematical logic and set theory?

AI Thread Summary
A request for an introductory book on mathematical logic emphasizes the need for coverage of set theory, ZFC axioms, and Gödel's theorems. It is noted that set theory and mathematical logic are distinct fields, suggesting that a historical perspective on set theory might also be valuable. Recommendations include "Set Theory and Its Logic" by Quine, which explores various axiom systems and could serve as a suitable resource for those interested in the foundational aspects of mathematical logic.

Hello,

I would like to know about a good introductory book on mathematical logic. It should start from set theory , include ZFC axioms and also touch on Godel's theorems.

Set theory and mathematical logic are quite different. What you may want is a book about the history of set theory.

Or perhaps a book like "Set Theory and Its Logic - Quine" which addresses various axiom systems would be suitable.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
