The
pdf file
holds the final manuscript of my
book "Proof complexity" prepared for the CUP (published in 2019).
It differs at places significantly from the earlier drafts
(Dec.'17 and Feb.'18) that were available here. In particular,
there is one more section in Chpt.21 (on The proof search problem)
and one more chapter (on The nature of proof complexity).
The eventual printed book will differ from the manuscript
by a number of corrections
done during the copy-editing
process (also page numbers will appear in the Index at the very end).
