Synopsis

The book is a complete collection of Paul Halmos's articles written on the subject of algebraic logic (the theory of Boolean functions). Altogether, there are ten articles, which were published between 1954-1959 in eight different journals spanning four countries. The articles appear in an order that allows the reader unfamiliar with the subject to read them without many prerequisites. In particular, the first article in the book is an accessible introduction to algebraic logic.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

2014 Reprint of 1962 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In "Algebraic Logic" Halmos devised polyadic algebras, an algebraic version of first-order logic differing from the better known cylindric algebras of Alfred Tarski and his students. An elementary version of polyadic algebra is described in monadic Boolean algebra. This book addresses some of the problems of mathematical logic and the theory of polyadic Boolean algebras in particular. It is intended to be an efficient way of treating algebraic logic in a unified manner.
