Gödel 96: Logical Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics: Lecture Notes in Logic 6 / Edition 1

by Petr Hajek

Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Logical Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics-Kurt Godel's Legacy, held in Brno, Czech Republic on the 90th anniversary of his birth. The wide and continuing importance of Godel s work in the logical foundations of mathematics, computer science, and physics is confirmed by the broad range of speakers who participated in making this gathering a scientific event.

Editorial Reviews

The proceedings of the 1996 conference in Brno, the Czech Republic (birthplace of Kurt G(:o)del, in whose honor the conference was held) have been reprinted in a paper edition, making it more accessible to the scholars, researchers and graduate students who will be its audience. Topics include: G(:o)del's program for new axioms, infinite-valued G(:o)del logics with 0-1 projections and relativizations, contributions of G(:o)del to relativity and cosmology, G(:o)del and the constructive mathematics of A.A. Markov, Hao Wang as philosopher, generalizing Turing's machines and arguments, forcing on bounded arithmetic, and uniform and layered bisimulation. Annotation c.
