Description

Second of two volumes providing a comprehensive guide to the current state of mathematical logic. This book and its sister volume, Sets and Proofs, provide readers with a comprehensive guide to the current state of mathematical logic. All the authors are leaders in their fields and are drawn from invited speakers at 'Logic Colloquium '97' (the major international meeting of the Association of Symbolic Logic). This book and its sister volume, Sets and Proofs, provide readers with a comprehensive guide to the current state of mathematical logic. All the authors are leaders in their fields and are drawn from invited speakers at 'Logic Colloquium '97' (the major international meeting of the Association of Symbolic Logic). Together, Models and Computability and its sister volume Sets and Proofs will provide readers with a comprehensive guide to the current state of mathematical logic. All the authors are leaders in their fields and are drawn from the invited speakers at 'Logic Colloquium '97' (the major international meeting of the Association of Symbolic Logic). It is expected that the breadth and timeliness of these two volumes will prove an invaluable and unique resource for specialists, post-graduate researchers, and the informed and interested nonspecialist. 1. Continuous functionals of dependent and transfinite types U. Berger; 2. Degree-theoretic aspects of computably enumerable reals C. S. Claude, R. Coles, P. H. Hertling and B. Khoussainov; 3. Simplicity and independen
