The first text to present a simple, intelligent guide to game theory, this book introduces concepts from areas such as economics using applications, game theoretic notions, and research results. The author presents game theory in an intelligible manner for those who do not have a strong background in the field of business or economics. Unlike other textbooks currently on the market that presuppose a knowledge of economics or finance, this book contains a broad base of applications that appeal to a broader audience but requires a minimal background in calculus, probability, and linear algebra....

The more traditional approaches to the history and philosophy of science and technology continue as well, and probably will continue as long as there are skillful practitioners such as Carl Hempel, Ernest Nagel, and th ir students. Finally, there are still other approaches that address some of the technical problems arising when we try to provide an account of belief and of rational choice. - These include efforts to provide logical frameworks within which we can make sense of these notions. This series will attempt to bring together work from all of these approaches to the history and...

The new edition of this classic textbook, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, Sixth Edition explores the principal topics of mathematical logic. It covers propositional logic, first-order logic, first-order number theory, axiomatic set theory, and the theory of computability. The text also discusses the major results of Godel, Church, Kleene, Rosser, and Turing.

The sixth edition incorporates recent work on Godel's second incompleteness theorem as well as restoring an appendix on consistency proofs for first-order arithmetic. This appendix last appeared in the first edition....
