Books by P. (University of Turin Odifreddi

Includes a number of applications to logic (in particular Godel's theorems) and to computer science, for which Recursion Theory provides the theoretical foundation. This book presents a comprehensive reference for the subject starting from first principles.

Describes the universe from a local (bottom-up or synthetical) point of view, and covers the whole spectrum, from the recursive to the arithmetical sets. This book presents a detailed picture of the computable sets from the perspective of theoretical computer science. It is suitable for those interested in complexity and computability theory.
