OK, the following books have no definition of the term:
Theory of Formal Systems,
Annals of Mathematical Studies #47
Raymond M Smullyin
Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability,
McGraw-Hill Series on Higher Mathematics
Hartley Rogers
Elements of Discrete Mathematics
McGraw-Hill Computer Science Series
C.L. Liu
Linear Algebra
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
Michael O'nan
Actually, I also did a local library search and it didn't find it
there either. There are many definitions of completeness, though
they vary drasticly with the mathematical concept being defined
(complete graph, complete field, ...).
Perhaps you could send us a reference and definition.
