unusual facts about Mathematical logic



British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science

The scope of BCTCS includes all aspects of theoretical computer science, including algorithms, complexity, semantics, formal methods, concurrency, types, languages and logics.

David Hilbert

One who had to leave Germany, Paul Bernays, had collaborated with Hilbert in mathematical logic, and co-authored with him the important book Grundlagen der Mathematik (which eventually appeared in two volumes, in 1934 and 1939).

Formulation

Disciplines in which one might use the word formulation in the abstract sense include Logic, Mathematics, Linguistics, Legal theory, and Computer science.

Henk Barendregt

Barendregt studied mathematical logic at Utrecht University, obtaining his Masters in 1968 and his Ph.D. in 1971, both cum laude, under Dirk van Dalen and Georg Kreisel.

Hilbert–Bernays provability conditions

In mathematical logic, the Hilbert–Bernays provability conditions, named after David Hilbert and Paul Bernays, are a set of requirements for formalized provability predicates in formal theories of arithmetic (Smith 2007:224).

Wilhelm Ackermann

In 1928, Ackermann helped David Hilbert turn his 1917 – 22 lectures on introductory mathematical logic into a text, Principles of Mathematical Logic.

Jouko Väänänen

He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Helsinki and a professor of mathematical logic and foundations of mathematics at the University of Amsterdam.

Logic programming

The use of mathematical logic to represent and execute computer programs is also a feature of the lambda calculus, developed by Alonzo Church in the 1930s.

Separation theorem

Gabbay's separation theorem (mathematical logic and computer science) states that any arbitrary temporal logic formula can be rewritten in a logically equivalent "past → future" form.
