A concise introduction to structural proof theory, a branch of logic studying the general structure of logical and mathematical proofs.
Structural proof theory studies the general structure and properties of logical and mathematical proofs. This book is both a concise introduction to structural proof theory and a work of research that will be of interest to specialists. A special feature is a downloadable computer program for developing proofs interactively.Structural proof theory is a branch of logic that studies the general structure and properties of logical and mathematical proofs. This book is both a concise introduction to the central results and methods of structural proof theory, and a work of research that will be of interest to specialists. The book is designed to be used by students of philosophy, mathematics and computer science. The book contains a wealth of results on proof-theoretical systems, including extensions of such systems from logic to mathematics, and on the connection between the two main forms of structural proof theory - natural deduction and sequent calculus. The authors emphasize the computational content of logical results. A special feature of the volume is a computerized system for developing proofs interactively, downloadable from the web and regularly updated.
"....The book makes significant original contributions while remaining accessible to the logician/philosopher/mathematician who wants to learn elementary proof theory...." Aldo Antonelli, University of California, Irvine
