Reverse Mathematics: Proofs from the Inside Out Hardcover - 2018
by John Stillwell
From the rear cover
"Reverse mathematics is the mathematical logician's version of zoology or botany, a classification of mathematical theorems in terms of the strength of the axioms needed to prove them. Stillwell carefully situates the field in the broader context of the history of mathematics and its foundations, and does a fine job of making the whole endeavor accessible to a general mathematical audience."--Jeremy Avigad, Carnegie Mellon University
"Filling an important niche, this book gives readers a good picture of the basics of reverse mathematics while suggesting several directions for further reading and study. It provides a context for the questions investigated by reverse mathematics and makes an extended argument for their significance within contemporary mathematical practice."--Denis Hirschfeldt, University of Chicago
"Reverse mathematics is a major research direction in the foundations of mathematics and mathematical logic, and the insights obtained from reverse mathematics will interest a wide mathematically minded audience. Stillwell's book is self-contained and includes much background material in analysis, mathematical logic, combinatorics, and computability. I heartily commend this very readable and accessible book."--Stephen Simpson, Vanderbilt University
