Book Notes on Logic and the Philosophy of Mathematics

The links in the (sortable) table below open to new tabs to display notes on various books, classic and more modern logic texts, philosophy books that I have reviewed, etc. Some pieces are short (excerpted from the Appendix to the Teach Yourself Logic Study Guide), some longer (perhaps bringing together a number of blog posts).
