We focus on some classical results concerning formal arithmetic,dating back to the classical era of the 1930s and 1940s, then in subsequent chapters inviting a comparison with more recent results. In this regard, we strongly emphasise the acceleration imparted also to logical study by the development of computer science: in addition to decidability in principle, indeed, computer science has forced attention to be paid to the classification of mathematical problems according to their degree of difficulty and the computational means that can be used in practice.
