Report
The book's mathematical rigor is its primary strength. The authors provide detailed proofs, examples, and formalizations, ensuring that each concept is thoroughly validated. Additionally, the inclusion of both decidable and undecidable logics bridges the gap between theory and computation, catering to diverse research interests. The treatment of many-valued logics is innovative, offering fresh insights into their structure and applications. (Nino Guallart, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2025)
