RESOURCES: BASIC READING

There is no basic or mandatory written reference for this course. A list of suggested readings (e.g. chapters in advanced/reference textbooks and collections, and research papers) will be available as the course proceeds. Any textbook on mathematical logic. (In our Library there are many, just do your choice. We will be happy to know what is your favourite!) Some suggestions follow.
