This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church was a pioneer in the field of mathematical logic, whose contributions to number theory and the theories of algorithms and computability laid the theoretical foundations of computer science. His first Princeton book, The Calculi of Lambda-Conversion (1941), established an invaluable tool that computer scientists still use today. Even beyond the accomplishment of that book, however, his second Princeton book, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, defined its subject for a generation. Originally published in Princeton's Annals of Mathematics Studies series, this book was revised in 1956 and reprinted a third time, in 1996, in the Princeton Landmarks in Mathematics series. Although new results in mathematical logic have been developed and other textbooks have been published, it remains, sixty years later, a basic source for understanding formal logic. Church was one of the principal founders of the Association for Symbolic Logic; he founded the Journal of Symbolic Logic in 1936 and remained an editor until 1979 At his death in 1995, Church was still regarded as the greatest mathematical logician in the world.

Download or read book Syntacticism and Functional Completeness written by Odysseus Makridis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constructs an idealized version of what the author calls syntacticism, a school of thought in the philosophy of logic which is congenial to analytical philosophy, logical positivism, and anti-metaphysical nominalism. It examines in detail both technical metalogical and broad philosophic issues associated with this way of thinking about logic, and specifically addresses anomalies around symbolic expressivity, which is crucial for this approach, with a view to provide both a deeper understanding and a critique. The range of fields and interests addressed include: the philosophy of logic, formal logic and mathematical logic, the analytical school of philosophy, logical positivism and nominalism, parallels between thinking about logic and the formalist school in the philosophy of mathematics, the history of modern logic, Wittgenstein’s Tractatus, Leśniewski’s protothetic, dialogue logic, and combinatorial logic.

Download or read book Alfred Tarski written by Andrew McFarland and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Tarski (1901–1983) was a renowned Polish/American mathematician, a giant of the twentieth century, who helped establish the foundations of geometry, set theory, model theory, algebraic logic and universal algebra. Throughout his career, he taught mathematics and logic at universities and sometimes in secondary schools. Many of his writings before 1939 were in Polish and remained inaccessible to most mathematicians and historians until now. This self-contained book focuses on Tarski’s early contributions to geometry and mathematics education, including the famous Banach–Tarski paradoxical decomposition of a sphere as well as high-school mathematical topics and pedagogy. These themes are significant since Tarski’s later research on geometry and its foundations stemmed in part from his early employment as a high-school mathematics teacher and teacher-trainer. The book contains careful translations and much newly uncovered social background of these works written during Tarski’s years in Poland. Alfred Tarski: Early Work in Poland serves the mathematical, educational, philosophical and historical communities by publishing Tarski’s early writings in a broadly accessible form, providing background from archival work in Poland and updating Tarski’s bibliography.
