Logical Foundations of Mathematics and Computational Complexity: A Gentle Introduction by Pavel Pudlák
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book lives up to its title. It spans the historical, logical, and at times philosophical underpinnings of mathematical complexity. Students of mathematics seeking a transition to higher mathematics will find this helpful, as will mathematicians with expertise in other areas. Philosophers and the philosophically inclined with a background in mathematics may be drawn to many chapters here. This is an excellent choice for a first text in studying complexity, or as a clarifying adjunct to any assigned text in this area...
