Download or read book Recursion Theory for Metamathematics written by Raymond M. Smullyan. This book was released on 1993-01-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a sequel to the author's Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, though it can be read independently by anyone familiar with Gödel's incompleteness theorem for Peano arithmetic. The book deals mainly with those aspects of recursion theory that have applications to the metamathematics of incompleteness, undecidability, and related topics. It is both an introduction to the theory and a presentation of new results in the field.
