This book is unique in that it gives asymptotic bounds on the sizes of the search spaces generated by many common theorem proving strategies. Thus it permits one to gain a theoretical unterstanding of the efficiencies of many different theorem proving methods. This is a fundamental tool in the comparative study of theorem proving strategies. The second edition is slightly revised, a few errors have been fixed, and some references to related works have been added.

This is a fundamental new tool in the comparative study of theorem proving strategies.
