Mathematical logic

That philosophical themes could be studied in an exact manner by logical meanS was a delightful discovery to make.

The present text resulted from lectures given by the authors at the Rijks Universiteit at Utrecht.

This book presents the classic relative consistency proofs in set theory that are obtained by the device of 'inner models'.

The Fourth International Congress for Logic, Methodology, and Philos- ophy of Science was held in Bucharest, Romania, on August 29-September 4, 1971.

This book is addressed primarily to researchers specializing in mathemat- ical logic.

This book is intended to serve as an advanced text and reference work on modal logic, a subject of growing importance which has applications to philosophy and linguistics.

Advances in Computational Intelligence and Learning: Methods and Applications presents new developments and applications in the area of Computational Intelligence, which essentially describes methods and approaches that mimic biologically intelligent behavior in order to solve problems that have been difficult to solve by classical mathematics.

Computational intelligence paradigms have attracted the growing interest of researchers, scientists, engineers and application engineers in a number of everyday applications.

Domain theory is a rich interdisciplinary area at the intersection of logic, computer science, and mathematics.

The main theme in classical ring theory is the structure theory of rings of a particular kind.

Since its inception, the theory of fuzzy sets has advanced in a variety of ways and in many disciplines.

Information technology has been, in recent years, under increasing commercial pressure to provide devices and systems which help/ replace the human in his daily activity.

Stig Kanger (1924-1988) made important contributions to logic and formal philosophy.

The approach to probability theory followed in this book (which differs radically from the usual one, based on a measure-theoretic framework) characterizes probability as a linear operator rather than as a measure, and is based on the concept of coherence, which can be framed in the most general view of conditional probability.

As society comes to rely increasingly on software for its welfare and prosperity there is an urgent need to create systems in which it can trust.

A cutting-edge survey of formal methods directed specifically at dealing with the deep mathematical problems engendered by the study of developing systems, in particular dealing with developing phase spaces, changing components, structures and functionalities, and the problem of emergence.

The main item in the present volume was published in 1930 under the title Das Unendliche in der Mathematik und seine Ausschaltung.

It is widely assumed that there exist certain objects which can in no way be distinguished from each other, unless by their location in space or other reference-system.

The aim of the first volume of the present Handbook of Philosophical Logic is essentially two-fold: First of all, the chapters in this volume should provide a concise overview of the main parts of classical logic.

The chapters in the present volume go beyond 'classical' extensional logic with respect to one important factor: they all include among the semantic constituents representations of so-called 'possible worlds'.

Problems in decision making and in other areas such as pattern recogni- tion, control, structural engineering etc.

This volume presents a number of systems of logic which can be considered as alternatives to classical logic.

The concept of likeness to truth, like that of truth itself, is fundamental to a realist conception of inquiry.

Optimization is of central concern to a number of discip- lines.

This book has grown out of eight years of close collaboration among its authors.

The modern discussion on the concept of truthlikeness was started in 1960.

"e;Intuition"e; has perhaps been the least understood and the most abused term in philosophy.

Operations Research is a field whose major contribution has been to propose a rigorous fonnulation of often ill-defmed problems pertaining to the organization or the design of large scale systems, such as resource allocation problems, scheduling and the like.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Second Joint IFSA-EC and EURO-WGFS Workshop on Progress in Fuzzy Sets in Europe held on April 6 -8, 1989 in Vienna, Austria.

Resolution Proof Systems: An Algebraic Theory presents a new algebraic framework for the design and analysis of resolution- based automated reasoning systems for a range of non-classical logics.

It has been shown how the common structure that defines a family of proofs can be expressed as a proof plan [5].

This present volume is the Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Near- rings and Nearfields held in Hamburg at the Universitiit der Bundeswehr Hamburg, from July 30 to August 06, 1995.

By North-American standards, philosophy is not new in Quebec: the first men- tion of philosophy lectures given by a Jesuit in the College de Quebec (founded 1635) dates from 1665, and the oldest logic manuscript dates from 1679.

conceptual, realist) theories of predication.

Relevance logics came of age with the one and only International Conference on relevant logics in 1974.

This book grew out of my confusion.

Fuzzy technology has emerged as one of the most exciting new concepts available.

The volume analyses and develops David Makinson's efforts to make classical logic useful outside its most obvious application areas.

This collection of papers, celebrating the contributions of Swedish logician Dag Prawitz to Proof Theory, has been assembled from those presented at the Natural Deduction conference organized in Rio de Janeiro to honour his  seminal  research.

This book is about philosophy, mathematics and logic, giving a philosophical account of Pluralism which is a family of positions in the philosophy of mathematics.

Written by experts in the field, this volume presents a comprehensive investigation into the relationship between argumentation theory and the philosophy of mathematical practice.

This new volume on logic follows a recognizable format that deals in turn with the topics of mathematical logic, moving from concepts, via definitions and inferences, to theories and axioms.

This book brings together philosophers, mathematicians and logicians to penetrate important problems in the philosophy and foundations of mathematics.
