Description of  Reverse Mathematics: Problems, Reductions, and Proofs (Theory and Applications of Computability)

Reverse mathematics studies the complexity of proving mathematical theorems and solving mathematical problems. Typical questions include: Can we prove this result without first proving that one? Can a computer solve this problem? A highly active part of mathematical logic and computability theory, the subject offers beautiful results as well as significant foundational insights. Read more
