Bound in the original black cloth lettered in gold on the spine and front cover. From the preface: "This book is addressed to philosophers and students of philosophy who want to use formal logic as a tool of their trade. It presupposes only the familiarity with truth-functions and quantifiers that is gained in a one-semester introduction to symbolic logic. It is designed to present in as clear and straightforward a way as possible a set of techniques for manipulating formal systems of modal logic and the related interpretative devices and for developing further systems of modal logic to meet specific contextual needs.".

From the INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF PSYCHOLOGY PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENTIFIC METHOD series. Bound in the original dark green cloth lettered in gold on the spine. This is one of several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately this copy does not have those signs of his ownership. But please check our inventory for several others that do. Alonzo Church 1903 - 1995 was professor of mathematics at Princeton University 1929-1967 and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA 1967-1990. He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem Church's Thesis and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic recursion theory theoretical computer science and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century. For more on Church's contributions see items 250 251 321 394 and 533 in Hook and Norman's ORIGINS OF CYBERSPACE A LIBRARY ON THE HISTORY OF COMPUTING. From Introduction: "In the course of this study I shall expound and criticize the theories and methods of Logical Positivism in an order of presentation which seems best suited to represent them with utmost fairness. I shall present the logical foundation of Positivism first. Then the applications of the method of analysis to mathematics and natural science will follow. Next I shall treat of the elimination of metaphysics and the consequence of this. All of this will be preparatory to the consideration of a specific case of positivistic analysis which presents a theory of knowledge free from metaphysics. This is the LOGISCHER AUFBAU DER WELT of Rudolf Carnap. Then I shall present the doctrine of Physicalism as a separate philosophical system. The study will be concluded by a theory of language which seems to me to overcome the difficulties of both Logical Positivism and Radical Physicalism." . First Edition. Hardcover.

This book is one of his earliest publications probably the 3rd. With more than 30 monographs and over 400 published scientific articles to his credit Professor Ivakhnenko has made numerous major contributions to the fields of cybernetics automatic control adaptive learning systems and infomatics. His most influential invention is probably the Group Method of Data Handling GMDH also known as Polynomial Neural Networks. GMDH is widely used to identify unknown relationships of complex systems to solve a multitude of problems in medicine business sociology and other fields. Ivakhnenko also developed the algorithms on which the artificial intelligence tool KnowledgeMiner is based and was chief editor of the journal Avtomatika.

Alonzo Church 1903 - 1995 was professor of mathematics at Princeton University 1929-1967 and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA 1967-1990. He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem Church's Thesis and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic recursion theory theoretical computer science and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century.
