This text is an outgrowth of notes prepared by J.-Y. Girard for a course at the University of Paris VII. It deals with the mathematical background of the application to computer science of aspects of logic . Combined with the conceptual perspectives of Girard's ideas, this sheds light on both the traditional logic material and its prospective applications to computer science. The book covers a very active and exciting research area, and it will be essential reading for all those working in logic and computer science.
