GWT again, TYL again, Haydn again

Just to note that more sections of Gödel Without (Too Many) Tears have been revised: you can always get the latest version here.

I hope it isn’t laziness or fatigue, but I find (slightly to my surprise) that I’m proceeding with quite light touch updating, rather than major rewriting — even when the corresponding parts of the second edition of the book have been significantly reorganised. But as I read through, I still think GWT works reasonably well, in its own terms, and I don’t want to spoil that. So I’m clarifying, re-sectioning, cutting a few things out, trying to improve readability, rather than anything more ambitious. Enjoy!

GWT gets a significant number of downloads (which is what makes it worth plugging away at improving it). But the Teach Yourself Logic Study Guide continues to be downloaded even more often, so I guess duty calls, and I need to get back to work on that. There’s a somewhat daunting list of suggestions of ways of improving/extending it. (Remind me: just how did I get myself embroiled in this seemingly unending project  …?)

On another theme entirely, a couple of months back I discovered that there’s a 32 CD boxed set of all the Academy Of Ancient Music’s recordings of Haydn symphonies under Christopher Hogwood (that’s not a complete set, but Symphonies 1–75, and six more). I got it remarkably cheaply, via an Amazon associate: but it doesn’t seem listed just at the moment. But if you can get your hands of the set (or indeed any of the individual volumes the set collects), these performances are an unalloyed delight. Just the thing for accompanying writing logic handouts …
