The Annual European Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, also known as the Logic Colloquium, is among the most prestigious annual meetings in the field. The current volume, Logic Colloquium 2007, with contributions from plenary speakers and selected special session speakers, contains both expository and research papers by some of the best logicians in the world. This volume covers many areas of contemporary logic: model theory, proof theory, set theory, and computer science, as well as philosophical logic, including tutorials on cardinal arithmetic, on Pillay's conjecture, and on automatic structures. This volume will be invaluable for experts as well as those interested in an overview of central contemporary themes in mathematical logic.

The 10th Asian Logic Conference is part of the series of logic conferences inaugurated in Singapore in 1981. This meeting is held every three years and rotates among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with interests in the broad area of logic, including theoretical computer science. It is now considered a major conference in this field and is regularly sponsored by the Association of Symbolic Logic. This volume contains papers from the 10th meeting held in Kobe, Japan.

This book is about 'diamond', a logic of paradox. In diamond, a statement can be true yet false; an 'imaginary' state, midway between being and non-being. Diamond's imaginary values solve many logical paradoxes unsolvable in two-valued boolean logic. In this volume, paradoxes by Russell, Cantor, Berry and Zeno are all resolved. This book has three sections: Paradox Logic, which covers the classic paradoxes of mathematical logic, shows how they can be resolved in this new system; The Second Paradox, which relates diamond to Boolean logic and the Spencer-Brown modulator""; and Metamathematical D

On the occasion of the retirement of Wolfram Pohlers the Institut für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagenforschung of the University of Münster organized a colloquium and a workshop which took place July 17 - 19, 2008. This event brought together proof theorists from many parts of the world who have been acting as teachers, students and collaborators of Wolfram Pohlers and who have been shaping the field of proof theory over the years. The present volume collects papers by the speakers of the colloquium and workshop; and they produce a documentation of the state of the art of contemporary proof

Cet ouvrage expose les méthodes et concepts élémentaires de la logique contemporaine dont la maîtrise est nécessaire pour qui veut aborder l'étude de la métalogique. Véritable manuel d'introduction, sa lecture ne requérant aucune connaissance particulière, il comporte deux parties correspondant à la division classique entre le calcul des énoncés et le calcul des prédicats. La première partie présente les connecteurs logiques d'un point de vue purement sémantique par la méthode des tables de vérité et par la méthode des matrices. Une attention particulière est portée aux questions de traduction en langue naturelle. Cet ouvrage pourra donc être utile à tous les étudiants de premier cycle qui amorcent une réflexion sur le langage. Les méthodes syntaxiques de vérification de la validité sont ensuite abordées : algèbre de Boole, méthode des arbres et méthode de déduction naturelle. Consacrée à l'étude du calcul des prédicats, la seconde partie en présente les notions fondamentales : modèle, satisfaction, vérité, validité. Sont ensuite développées la méthode des arbres et la méthode de déduction naturelle. De nombreux exercices originaux permettront au lecteur de vérifier au fur et à mesure sa compréhension de la matière. Plusieurs de ces exercices sont accompagnés de corrigés qui sont regroupés à la fin de chaque chapitre.

"This book explores when and why the rudiments of mathematical capability first appeared among human beings, what its fundamental concepts are, and how and why it has grown into the richly branching complex of specialties that it is today. It discusses whether the 'truths' of mathematics are discoveries or inventions and what prompts the emergence of concepts that appear to be descriptive of nothing in human experience. Also covered is the role of esthetics in mathematics: What exactly are mathematicians seeing when they describe a mathematical entity as "beautiful"? There is discussion of whether mathematical disability is distinguishable from a general cognitive deficit and whether the potential for mathematical reasoning is best developed through instruction." "This volume is unique in the vast range of psychological questions it covers, as revealed in the work habits and products of numerous mathematicians. It provides fascinating reading for researchers and students with an interest in cognition in general and mathematical cognition in particular. Instructors of mathematics will also find the book's insights illuminating."--BOOK JACKET.
