This book gives a rigorous yet “Physics-Focused” introduction to Mathematical Logic that is geared towards natural science majors. We present the science major with a robust introduction to Logic, focusing on the specific knowledge and skills that will unavoidably be needed in calculus topics and natural science topics in general (rather than taking a philosophical-math-fundamental oriented approach that is commonly found in Mathematical Logic textbooks).

About the Author(s)
Nicolas A. Pereyra, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
Dr. Pereyra pursued his undergraduate studies in Physics in Caracas at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, where he graduated in 1991. Dr. Pereyra pursued his graduate studies in Physics at the University of Maryland at College Park, where he obtained his M.S. in 1995 and his Ph.D. in 1997. Currently Dr. Pereyra is an Associate Professor in Astrophysics at the Physics and Astronomy Department of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Dr. Pereyra’s research work has been largely in the development of computational models of physical systems. His research has included the computer simulation of transport of oil through pipelines, the computer simulation of accretion disk winds in cataclysmic variables, earth atmospheric wind simulations, solar loop simulations, simulations of cool fronts in the interstellar medium, and radiative transfer simulations. Currently Dr. Pereyra is working on the development of computational models of accretion disk winds in QSOs.
