Corrigenda for Mathematical Logic, Chiswell and

Hodges
• p.20: Ex. 2.4.1(c): b (not a) unequal to 0.
• p.22: last displayed item, top right: should be D, not D0 .
• p.23: Exercise 2.5.1(d) should read
` (((φ ←→ ψ) ←→ χ) −→ (φ −→ (ψ ←→ χ)))
It is not possible to do the exercise as given in the book using only the rules developed so far.
For if it were, one could give a proof that
` ((φ ←→ (ψ ←→ χ)) −→ ((φ ←→ ψ) −→ χ))
and so a proof that
{(φ ←→ (ψ ←→ χ)), (φ ←→ ψ)} ` χ
using just these rules. The method of Exercise 3.9.2 shows that this can’t be done, as follows.
Add to that exercise that the value of (p ∧ q) is the minimum of the values of p and of q, and
the value of (p ←→ q) is the same as that of ((p −→ q) ∧ (q −→ p)). Then show that the
conclusion of Exercise 3.9.2(c) remains true when the rules (∧I), (∧E), (←→I) and (←→E)
can also be used in D.
Therefore, it suffices to find values for φ , ψ, χ such that (φ ←→ ψ) and (φ ←→ (ψ ←→
χ)) both have value 1 but χ has value less than 1. The following values work: φ and ψ have
value 0, χ has value 1/2.
• p.44: exercise 3.2.6, should be “if D1 (µ) = (ν1 , . . . , νn ) then D2 ( f µ) = ( f ν1 , . . . , f νn ).”
• p.47: the penultimate sentence of Theorem 3.3.4 should read “Moreover in case (b) the for-
mulas φ and ψ are uniquely determined segments of χ”.
• p.62: in Definition 3.5.1, Line 3, “identity” should be “identify”.
• p.72: Definition 3.7.1 should read “to each qi (1 ≤ i ≤ k) . . .” .
• p.74: the last line should end “both A? (φ [S]) and A[S]? (φ ) are F.”
• p.75: Theorem 3.7.6(b) should be labelled “Replacement Theorem”.
• p.78: the expression (3.59) should be (· · · (φ1 ∧ φ2 ) ∧ · · · ) ∧ φn ).
• p.79: part (b) of Definition 3.8.1 should read “. . . these n formulas are called the disjuncts of
the disjunction.”
• p.84: at the end of exercise 3.8.2(a), it should be “ . . .logically equivalent to φ .]”.
• p.95: Exercise 3.10.1 should begin “If we kept the truth function symbols −→, ∨ and ←→”.
• p.119: Definition 5.3.9, part (a), the complexity of a formula is the height of the parsing tree
with leaves labelled by terms, and the corresponding edges, removed. This truncated parsing
tree should also be used in part (c).
• p.144: parts (1) and (2) of Theorem 5.8.3 are referred to as (a) and (b) in the proof.
• p.146: in Definition 5.8.4, it should be (k1 , . . . , kn ), not (k1 , . . . , km ).
• p.190: Definition 7.6.3, third line, RL(σ ) should be LR(σ ).
• p.193: in the last sentence of the proof of the Compactness Theorem, it should be Γ 0 |= ⊥,
not Γ |= ⊥.
• p. 202: proof of Theorem 7.8.3(a), third line, should be “Hence X is countable by Lemma
7.8.2.”
