Is there a difference between the sort of logic that a mathematician would need to know and the kind that would be appropriate for a philosopher?
(Similar to how the kind of mathematics knowledge that an accountant and a physicist would need to understand would be different. Both math. One is math as it relates to the law. The other math as it relates to apples falling from trees.)

Almost definitely, but that was not what worried me—I definitely trust philosophers to pick the topics in mathematical logic that are appropriate for a student of philosophy, but would like to see a mathematician's hand somewhere on the tiller to make sure that the discussion of those topics is fully mathematically accurate.
