1966009127Stuttgart: Karl Mayer 1966. Very Good condition. 14.5 cm x 21 cm. A solid copy -- square and tight. Bound in the original paper wrappers. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean and unmarked. Ph.D. thesis in German on semantic theory of the programming languages. Full title: "Semantische Theorie der Programmsprachen Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften der Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Eberhard-Karls-Universität zu Tübingen." Schwenkel's faculty advisors for this dissertation were Karl Zeller and Hellmuth Kneser. Schwenkel went on to become a professor at the University of Hamburg where among other things he was involved in programming/design of chess computers. When Schwenkel published his REKURSIVE WORTFUNKTIONEN UBER UNENDLICHEN ALPHABETEN it was Alonzo Church who reviewed it in his JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC Volume 40 Issue 4 1975 621-622. This is one of several dozen books and periodicals 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 the Church-Turing 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. Church was first to demonstrate that David Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem was unsolvable. It was Church who coined the phrase "Turing machine" for Alan Turing's hypothetical universal computing machine. 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.

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 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.
